Buy props used in MaryJane’s books and magazine!
All proceeds (minus shipping and packing) will benefit www.firstbook.org, a non-profit that provides new books to children from low-income families throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Here’s how:
MaryJane will post a photo of the prop and its cost here along with a few details as to its condition. The first person to call the farm and talk with Brian, 208-882-6819, becomes the new owner of a little bit of herstory. Shipping will be either USPS or UPS, our choice. No returns.

Digital Library

Picture a library without card catalogs, shelves, reading chairs, or …
books?
What’s left to be called a “library”?
Denizens of the digital age will assure you that it’s all still there, only now it’s electronic.
(Of course, you’ll just have to imagine the academic ambience.)
The United States’ first futuristic facility of this kind recently opened to the public in Bexar County, Texas.
It’s called the BiblioTech library, and it boasts about 10,000 free e-books, as well as audio books and e-readers. You can use your own reader, too, if you have the 3M Cloud Library app, which can be linked to your library card.
Yup, even a digital library still uses cards.
Lest you wonder if this is all just a figment of a cyber-savvy librarian’s fancy, the BiblioTech
(a play on “bibliothèque,” the French word for library)
actually does have a physical location, complete with 48 computer stations and meeting spaces (there are tables and chairs!).
Plus, patrons can still bring their kids for a real, live story time and take computer classes to catch up with the rapidly changing times.
Are you ready for a “virtual library” in your neck of the woods?
