Special Delivery for Harry Potter
* Re “Potter Books Realize Fantasy for Librarians,” July 19.
The media hoopla over the release of the fourth Harry Potter book has been wonderful, but it focused on retail outlets. I want to let everyone know that the Ventura County Library has purchased 90 copies of this exciting new book!
On the big day the new book was released, the library’s copies ended up at a bookstore in Laguna Niguel but our doughty manager of children’s services, not wanting to delay getting them into the hands of our eager young customers, drove down there to pick them up.
