Murder on the Menu 2009 February 11, 2009

For the fifth year in a row a group of nationally published mystery authors visited our town and were greeted by a sell -out crowd of mystery fans.  Over lunch every year the authors not only talk about what they write, but often tell how they got started writing in the first place.  I enjoy hearing these various stories every year.

The library has purchased at least one book by each of the authors from Sunday’s event. These books are available for checkout;  just look for the Murder on the Menu display near the circulation desk.

For those of you that attended the event, we would like to hear from you. Tell us what you liked, what you didn’t like, what could have gone better, etc. We try to make adjustments every year based on what we learned the year before.

On behalf of the Wetumpka Public library I would like to thank the Friends of the Wetumpka Library; especially Murder on the Menu committee members Betsy and Craig Sheldon, Becki and Richard Cumbie, Tammy and Neil Lynn, Tonia Ayers, and Phoenix Martin for all they do to make this event possible. Thanks also to Margaret Fenton from Birmingham and our own Tammy Lynn for the year-round work they do getting these authors lined up and excited about their trip to the deep south! I would also like to thank the City of Wetumpka for their support in providing the venue for this event.
