Collection Development: Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Submitted by Glynda Christian, Collection Development Chair

You are most cordially invited to our Topics and Tea Collection Development Round Table Meeting on Saturday morning, 10:45 to 12:00 noon, in Room C101 of the Pasadena Conference Center. If you are a CDRT member (and you can become one easily, contact CLA office) we invite you to sit with us, and to bring a teapot you'd like to "show off" with a few bags of your favorite tea. We'll get the hot water to make it all work, and have some cookies to boot! For members in Southern Cal, who don't have to worry about having your packed cookies turn into crumbs, please feel free to bring on some Southern Cal cookies! We will meet, and we will talk about a variety of interesting topics, including selecting for Latino populations.

Then, after you're nicely soothed for Saturday, get ready for Sunday's CDRT presentation at the Pasadena Conference Center, Room C102, and hear all about the female detective and other mysterious phenomena on Sunday morning, 9:15 to 10:30 a.m. with California Writers' Panel: Left Cost Noir: Celebrating California's Mystery Tradition with authors Paula Woods, Denise Hamilton, and Jerrilyn Farmer! Don't miss this dynamic panel discussion presented by our crime fiction/mystery-solving trio of best-selling authors! They will read and explore the southern California landscape from the perspective of their crime-solving heroines; time for questions as well. CLA exclusive: a literary map designed for this program will be given to attendees. Book signing to follow.

With your tea and cookies and a stimulating series of mystery authors before you, you're sure to have a real good time! Come on by! Join the CDRT if not already a member, and let me know who's bringing those tea pots!! Tasty, informative, and fun--what else is there?
