Coming Monday! Your Montlake Neighbor & Writer: Margot Kahn Case

April 29, 2015 by gehrkenathalie 1 Comment

kahn48472Montlake Unabridged spotlights the talents of our neighbor and writer, Margot Kahn Case on

    Monday, May 4 at the Montlake Library from 6:30 to 7:45 p.m.

Margot reads from her biography:

    Horses That Buck: The Story of Champion Bronc Rider Bill Smith

She will then talk about the 15 years of research and relationships that led up to and followed the hardcover publication in 2008 by the University of Oklahoma Press. Its 4th edition is newly released in paperback this month.

Margot Kahn Case spent seven years on the ranch and behind the bucking chutes to write Horses. She is a graduate of Columbia University’s MFA program and a recipient of numerous awards, including a CityArtist award and a grant from 4Culture. She is currently an artist- in-residence at Franklin High School. About the Bronc Rider, she says: “Bill Smith saw rodeo as his only ticket to escaping a life in the coal mines. Without money, talent, or a rodeo family to help him along, he went down the road with nothing but “want to” and, over the course of a twenty-year career, became one of the greatest saddle bronc riders of all time.”

Phinney Books will have copies of the book to sell Monday night, and we bet Margot will happily autograph your copy. The Library Staff will welcome you. The Montlake Community Club will provide refreshments. Why not come over to the Montlake library to hear your talented neighbor read, talk with her about what it takes to research and write a biography, and get your own autographed copy to take home? Montlakers have talent; let’s enjoy it on Monday night, the 4th!

Little Free Libraries?

December 3, 2014 by montlake 2 Comments

Little Free Library 2505By Amy Hansen

What are those little houses in front of people’s houses? Glad you asked! Those are Little Free Libraries that your neighbors have put up to swap books with you! No membership needed, simply take a peek inside the library and take a book that interests you. Return later with books you’d like to share!

Little Free Libraries were started in 2009 by Todd Bol of Hudson, Wisconsin. He built a model of a one-room schoolhouse as a tribute to his mother, a former school teacher who loved reading.  He filled it with books and put it on a post in his front yard.  His neighbors and friends loved it.  He built several more and gave them away.  Each one had a sign that said FREE BOOKS. There are now nearly 15,000 Little Free Libraries across the globe, including  Afghanistan, China, Uganda, Brazil, Iceland, and Qatar. *

The good news for Montlakers is that there are five Little Free Libraries in our neighborhood! One of the best kept secrets I’ve found about our neighborhood’s Little Free Libraries is that new books often show up here much faster than they become available on the hold queue at the public library. Also, some libraries stock children’s books, so be sure to look. Consider gathering up a few books you’re done reading and taking a walking tour our neighborhood libraries. Happy Reading!
