I’m always so flattered whenever I learn that one of my books has been added to the collection of yet another prestigious university library. Today I discovered that my first book, Chalkboard Champions (2012), was recently added to the collection of the University of Arizona, Tucson, and Berea College in Berea, Kentucky. The volume had previously been added to the libraries of Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota; the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, Mississippi; the State University of New York in Oswego, New York; Hunter College in New York, New York; Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey; Salem State University in Salem, Massachusetts; and the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California. It is also part of the collection of the Library of Congress.

Chalkboard Heroes (2015) has been added to the collections of the Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles, California; Chadron State University in Chadron, Nebraska; the University of Sourthern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, Mississippi; and the University of Chicago Library in Chicago, Illinois.

Many thanks to all these university libraries for honoring my work!
