One of my fellow librarian has been busy working on a special project during the past few weeks--developing a library celebration for the 200th birthday of writer Edgar Allen Poe. The event will be modest yet fun with cake and door prizes but our library is actually playing catch-up with a number of such events around the country. Poe's birthday is January 19th.
Of course, the literary giant--considered the inventor of detective fiction--will command much greater attention at his final resting place of Baltimore. And the website "Nevermore2009" gives the dirty on what to expect there with several big events scheduled throughout the year.
Anyone up for a trip to "Charm City"?
