Literacy Volunteers Fund Raiser

We are getting ready for the Literacy Volunteers Fund raiser on Marh 21st 10:00-4:00pm which promises to be as exciting as our last event. There are many Santa Fe luminaries and authors that have already confirmed their support and will be giving readings, and talks on behalf of literacy.
Attached is a link to our events page that we will be posting early next week.

If have any comments, suggestions, edits please let me know harmon@clearlightbooks.com

If you have not yet responded to Paul at the NM Book Coop or Harmon at the Clear Light Book Gallery on whether you are planning to attend please do so this week so we can plan the floor layout.

The idea for establishing a permanent "book market" on the third Saturday of the month is gaining some momentum. With your support we will be able to create a new venue for authors to meet their readers. If you have any suggestion or would like to be involved as a "market commttee" please let me know.

All the best

SPACE GOING VERY FAST FOR THE NEW MEXICO BOOK CATALOG
SHOW YOUR BOOKS TO EVERY BOOKSTORE AND LIBRARY IN NM
Here is an opportunity for you to get your book in front of every bookstore and library in New Mexico — about 2,000 locations in an economical way, but there are only a few spaces left. The response has been so strong there are only 6 pages left! If you mailed a flier to every one of these stores and libraries it would cost you over $800. But the New Mexico Book Co-op has organized a special project to get your book in front of all these potential buyers for just $180.Many of you said you wanted to have a catalog of local books that could go to bookstores and libraries in the state. The New Mexico Book Co-op listened. Now is a chance for fast acting publishers and authors to make a catalog and have it mailed out. For $180 you get your book included in a catalog of New Mexico books designed to catch the interest of book buyers — this fee includes the cost to design, print, and mail the catalog to all bookstores and libraries in the state. Plus, we will send you 100 copies of the catalog that you can use. If you want more information on this project go to http://nmbookcoop.com/page18/page92/files/NMBC%20Catalog%20flier.pdf
