Gary Paulsen - Saved by a librarian!

Didn't you just love the book when you first read Hatchet by Gary Paulsen? Haven't you enjoyed all Paulsen books since? I hope you enjoy reading this article from the Telegraph Herald about Mr. Paulsen. He spoke at a recent celebration of the $6.5 million renovations completed at the Carnegie-Stout library in Dubuque, Iowa.

Quote from Mr. Paulsen: I would be dead without libraries. Everything that I am or ever will be in writing is because of that librarian (who gave him his first library card).

It makes me proud to be a librarian. Please enjoy reading the full article by clicking here. Your library has many books by Gary Paulsen. Check one out soon.
