12 TEXAS LIBRARY JOURNAL WINTER 2018 I should make it clear that I didn’t build a dozen libraries while also writing all six new books in one year, though it often felt that way. The first novel,The Moleskin Mystery, which appears to be hand-printed in blue ink in an actual Moleskine notebook, had been recently completed. I’d already sold the movie rights to the second novel, All for Love. And the final novel,A Christmas Song, was a sequel to my earlier Algonquin Books novel, When Angels Sing, which was made into a beautiful movie called Angels Sing, starring Willie Nelson and Harry Connick, Jr. I’d been working intermittently on the sequel for years, but it was the deadline of the book club that pushed me through to craft a story that I truly love. There’s also a collection of my screenplays and an illustrated book of poetry, both of which have gotten great reader feedback. The sixth book in the series is a children’s book called Grace and the Moon. It tells the story of two girls named Grace, one in her American backyard and one in her Kenyan backyard, and the sky that they share. Illustrated in full color by a wonderful Kenyan artist, Turk Pipkin with students at Mwangaza Primary Library Grace is a rare organization called StoryMoja. Founded by a group of bilingual English- prominent African writers, StoryMoja publishes a large Kiswahili volume, catalog of grade-appropriate books in English and Kiswahili. with the left-hand Many are slender titles that are stocked in multiple copies page in English so that an entire class can read and discuss a book at once. and the right Most are written by African authors, some well-known and in Kiswahili.

In all we had been out of the library for 14 months. As much as we had worked to prepare, the first couple of months we were open to the public presented several unanticipated challenges.

Staff are assigned to zones within the library to assist anyone who enters their area, and are expected to move across zones as needed to meet all of that person’s needs. If a staff member is struggling to assist a patron, they are encouraged to seek out the assistance of another staff member on the floor and work together to resolve any issues.
