Dreaming in Libro: How a Good Dog Tamed a Bad Woman

BREAKING NEWS!!!!! THE BOXER LOVERS' BOOK CLUB HAS CHOSEN DREAMING IN LIBRO FOR ITS FIRST READING/​DISCUSSION. WOOF!


WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT THE BOOK


"Bark If You Love Me was a smart, witty, and observant portrait of a hard-boiled city woman and her soft-boiled city dog. Dreaming in Libro delivers more of the same, but we also start to see the soft-boiled side of Ms. Bernikow. Some people still believe that a woman without a man (or child) is lacking somehow, that her life is incomplete. But those of us with dogs know this is not true. Life with a dog is complete, because the dog makes it so. Bernikow know this, Bernikow lived this. More people might understand if they read such books."
Lee Harrington, BARK

"Should appeal to a similar readership (as MARLEY AND ME)–the millions who love dogs and share their homes with them.” LIBRARY JOURNAL

"Finally he helped the author and other shell-shocked survivors of 9/​11 by becoming a therapy dog. Will touch the heart.” BOOKLIST

VOTES FOR WOMEN NY
PBS' "HISTORY DETECTIVES" "Votes for Women" segment featured Louise on the background and importance of the New York campaign. Now you can hear the whole uncensored story in your school or community auditorium. When New York women won the right to vote in 1917, they changed the national political landscape. The victory was a critical tipping point on the road to a constitutional amendment. This talk brings to life the alliances across lines of class and race in New York City that won the day and the brilliant use of urban landmarks -- the Statue of Liberty, Fifth Avenue, Carnegie Hall-- as props for political spectacle.
