The Pittsburg Public Library kicked off its observance of “Kansas Reads The Virgin of Small Plains” on Monday, February 2nd. Nearly thirty attendees enjoyed a lunch of either vegetable beef or Mexican bean soups (or both!) before hearing from Kaite Stover, Head of Reader’s Services at KCPL, about the importance of reading Nancy Pickard’s award-winning book. Thanks to the extreme generosity of the local Friends group, complimentary copies of The Virgin of Small Plains are available to 125 lucky readers. Well, that number is much lower now, since those in attendance quickly snatched up their own copy after hearing Kaite talk up the book. Hopefully those copies will be passed around to friends and family.
And they’ll want to be prepared for our next event, Nancy Pickard’s visit on the 17th. A picnic supper—to pay homage to the Memorial Day events in VOSP—will be served before Nancy takes center stage. Those who have heard Nancy speak before at our library are eager to see her again and are promising to bring their friends. Let’s hope Nancy will be ready for their many questions.
