Welcome to the library of congress. Im john kohl, director of the center in the book for the library of congress. I was talking to our speaker earlier tonight and described what i was doing. She said, you have a wonderful job. You promote books and reading. You live with books. And you are involved with the study of books. And i said, thats true. We also promote books through events such as tonights. This is part of our books and beyond author series. Its where we focus on authors who have written new books that have Something Special to do with the library of congress. And in this case, as our speaker will tell you, there is a direct connection with the library and with an archive. And when i wrote the press release, i didnt really realize the extent of the collection that we have that supports this particular book. We have the archive not just the recordings for Mary Margaret mcbride. You will hear about that tonight from our speaker. Susan is a special friend of the library of congr

Like a breath of spring air and, with lavish interiors and landscaping the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach is back, highlighting spaces decorated by a cast of designers who have made over a 4,400 square-foot, five-bedroom Mediterranean-style house and gardens on the South Flagler Drive waterfront in West Palm Beach.
Among those design pros is Palm Beach designer Ellen Kavanaugh, who has created a glam lounge retreat on a second-floor treetop terrace.
“The show house is really fun,” she says. “It can be very challenging, but it’s worth it in the end.”
