We've got more pages than, well, a library!

At the Montana State Library Fall Workshop this last week in Lewiston I took a class in creating a Protopage and Google Page Creator. The Protopage I created for the Whitehall Library is here.
If you'd like to read about Protopages click here. The one I made for the libary will be on all the library computers as a home page and will have all sorts of useful links and info.
Our Google Page Creator is going to be used more like a traditional web page and to see it in all it's glory go thisaway. So between this blog, our Protopage and the Google Page you have absolutely no excuse for not knowing every single thing there is to know about the Whitehall Library.
The drive to Lewiston was really beautiful and I took a few pictures along the way.

A wise and sassy narrator, marvelous characters, and a plot that blends Hollywood scandal, lifelong friendship, mystery and romance—these are the specialties served up in Sandra Dallas’s offbeat, inspired debut novel.
Effa Commander is no spring chicken, but her spirit shines and her smart mouth still puts fools to shame. The fool in question is a gossip hound writing a scurrilous account of her beloved friends who, though departed, remain the most celebrated citizens of Butte, Montana: the great Hollywood legend Marion Street (nee May Anna Kovacks) and Buster Midnight, the boxing champion whose love for Marion led to the notorious “Tinseltown Crime of Passion” and the end of his career.

Prodded by her bosom buddy, Whippy Bird, Effa Commander takes pen in hand to set the record straight and tell what really happened on that violent night. But to do that, Effa Commander must recount the story of all their lives: hers and Whippy Bird’s and May Anna’s, and Buster and Toney McNight’s and Pink Varscoe’s. Childhood friends, they all became wives and husbands—with the exception of May Anna, of course. She went to work in Venus Alley, hitched herself to a big-time director just passing through on his way to Hollywood, and the rest is history.

Narrated by the irrepressible Effa Commander, this wry and loving chronicle of more than fifty years of friendship carries some universal, homespun truths about what’s really important in life.
