"Cheers: To the North Richland Hills Library's Staff and Friends of the Library for the opportunity to be with Kathleen Grissom, who spoke about her new book, Glory Over Everything, as well as her previous book, The Kitchen House. Thanks for hosting this most interesting and enjoyable event."

Received on 7/23/15 by Library staff after the Kathy Reichs event for Speaking in Bones on 7/22/15

"Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Kathy Reichs book talk last night. I’ve never read any of her books or seen the show, but I sure do want to now! She’s an excellent speaker—what a sense of humor! The event was organized beautifully and I loved your library (it was my first time to see it). Thanks for a great evening!" -Ellen Ritchie

"I had the pleasure of attending the Tea time with Joanne Fluke last week. We had such a marvelous time, and took in all the time and love your staff put into making this an incredible event for us “Hannah Maniacs”. Other than meeting the speaker of the hour, it was also a pleasure meeting the wonderful staff. Very helpful in every way, upon arriving to your library. We are from out of town."
