Madelyne Spann

Co-Author Madelyne Spann, a lifelong avid reader, has spent most of her adult career working in the library system encouraging both young and old the value of reading. In retirement, she continues to purchase and distribute a variety of books for family and friends. It is that passion for reading that inspired the next book in May Book Series titled May Wants A Library Card. May and her day care class go on a field trip to the local public library. The library staff has a special day of activities lined up to help the children explore all the tools and resources the library has to offer. Madelyne has included a few real life former colleagues into the storyline. This tribute story honors their team effort of working at a library, and hopefully inspires both young and old (but especially kids) to visit their local library to get their own library card.
