Return to the Scene of our Victory

Lory and I had an interesting evening. Followers of Two Sides might remember that we were part of a team, along with Annette Danek, Lynn Wheeler and Chris Winebrenner, that won the first Battle of the Books: After Hours, the adult competition.

We didn’t compete this year, but we attended as the reigning champs to give out awards to the winners. A very different experience attending as a spectator instead of as a competitor.

We will be posting a podcast episode soon, including our interview with the winning team. I don’t want to give away too much, but we already had a bit of a relationship with the winning team.

We had dinner with Andrea Berstler, the Director of the Carroll County Public Library and talked over some possible collaboration between Two Sides and the Library. We also spent some time with Debbie Scheller, the owner of A Likely Story Bookstore in Sykesville, and our CCPL friend Lisa Picker.

Watch for the After Hours episode – coming soon!
