How a Book Gets to be in a Special Collection at the Boston Public Library
I’m a member of Women’s National Book Association–San Francisco Chapter.
When Laurie Beckelman was national president of Women’s National Book Association, she coordinated with the Boston Public Library to create a WNBA Collection. Thank you, Laurie! Thank you, everyone at the Boston Public Library!
My dear sister was in Boston and guess what she did? She visited the Central Branch of the Boston Public Library and took photos of my novel Love Made of Heart proudly shelved. Thanks, Sis!
Sincerely,
Teresa LeYung Ryan
Chinese American author who writes for and about modern courageous women unbeknownst to themselves.
As an author I use my novel Love Made of Heart to encourage adult-children of mentally-ill parents to speak openly about the stigmas that their parents suffer.
Love Made of Heart is:
• recommended by the California School Library Association and the California Reading Association
• used in Advanced Composition English-as-a-Second-Language classes
• archived at the San Francisco History Center
Love Made of Heart is in 97 public libraries (84 branches in the United States, 2 branches in the United Kingdom , 9 branches in New Zeland; 1 branch in Austrialia, 1 branch in Singapore).
