While I was in Red Bank this week it just so happened that the public library was the only library that had a particular book I needed for research for my new picture book. Normally, I would just have the book transferred to my library, and this would take some time, but since I was in town I figured it was the perfect opportunity to save time and pick it up myself. So, I asked the kids if they knew where the library was and it turned out it wasn't very far away from the school. When I pulled in the driveway this is the view I saw. Since I happened to have my camera with me, I couldn't help but take a few photos.
This same view can be seen from inside the library that boasts large glass windows. Now wouldn't you want to just sit and stare out the window all day? So, not only was I excited to find the perfect resource, I was able to put the finishing touches on my manuscript.
Thanks to the wonderful librarian at the Air and Space Museum who took the time to help me with my research. I know how swamped they are with requests.
I'm happy to say that a new story will be going out in the next week or so and hopefully it will find a nice home. It feels good when you've had an idea brewing for quite some time and you finally find the time or should I say "make" the time to turn that idea into some real.
