    Hello Catherine,

    I just found your blog and I am glad. I am looking for book donations both new and used that are in good condition to start a small library for children. If you can suggest or know people willing to part with some of their unwanted books please let me know. Thank you.

    Sincerely,
    Lois


    1. Catherine avatar

      Hi Lois, I’m not sure where you are but maybe you can find out if any book bloggers live near you. They often have lots of review copies of books that they are happy to donate. Check out the book blogging community on Twitter, maybe somebody can help you there?

    I will soon be celebrating my 60th birthday and I have a special fondness for bears. My first teddy was called Uncle Bruin and I still have him. I enjoyed reading stories about bears to our two boys who are now grown up. Hopefully one day I will be able to enjoy reading bear stories to our grand children.


    1. Catherine avatar

      Thank you for visiting Story Snug Anne :). Some of my favourite bears are in this story – Old Bear, Bramwell and Little Bear.
