Lisa Mullarkey is just simply amazing!  A long time library patron sent this email to us after attending Lisa’s opening program for last summer’s reading program:  “Just had to share the buzz that I heard after leaving the library - today was a HUGE success.  Several people said that it was the BEST kickoff ever!  So, hats off to . . . you for a sensational first day!  People were very happy with the speaker, the crafts, the organization, the entire package. . . Just thought that you would like to hear what's being said out there!”  I cannot recommend her highly enough.  The combination of her teaching background, being a mother of two, and also a children’s author adds a level of vitality and credibility that is difficult to articulate, however, I can assure you: you will be booking her for 2009 as soon as 2008’s program is done.
