Nassau Library I will be there Sept 19th 2023 630 to 730 to launch This Is Our Home.  I will give a brief talk about the book and then try to raise money for the library by donating 50 books.  We will sell each book for whatever people will give for the book.  100% of the proceeds will go to the library.  I went to the Nassau Library as a toddler and went back the last few years to do research for this book.  The library is special.  I hope it is here 100 years from now.
