    PRESS RELEASE Lake County Library Services P.O. Box 7800 315 W. Main Street Tavares, Fl 32778-7800 For immediate release Date: April 8, 2004 Contact: Judy Buckland Phone: (352) 253-6167 Lake County Library System Presents The Festival of Reading The Lake County Library System is presenting the Festival of Reading, a week long celebration of the power of books.

The events will be held National Library Week, April 17 - 24, 2004. The Festival of Reading is offering many unique events. Award winning author Susan Carol McCarthy, will be the featured speaker at a Literary Luncheon and Book Talk. Her first novel, Lay That Trumpet In Our Hands, was inspired by true events involving the Ku Klux Klan, the FBI and others in 1950s Florida.

Her second novel, True Fires, (A Bantam Books Hardcover) published January 2004, is inspired by true events in Lake County.
