that showcases southern and local publishers. Allen Novak did a beautiful job

asking, “What is with this award?”

a brochure and will pull it out when she gets back to the office.
Sarah Falls suggested that we
promote to library students and encourage chapter participation. Sites suggested were UNC-Asheville,

regions.
