The Whatcom Literacy Council and Village Books teamed up for another great Literacy Breakfast with America's favorite librarian, Nancy Pearl! Below is her list of recommendations and by the way, did you know that she has a brand new book? It's called The Writer's Library: The Authors You Love on the Books That Changed Their Lives and we think it's sure to be a bestseller.

If you want to hear Nancy's talk about the books, check out the recording of her event on our Youtube channel here!
