*Dan Hinkley Books Launch a Smashing Success
NHS Hinkley Book Launch: Dan signing a book

The Library would like to thank the Northwest Horticultural Society 
<http://www.northwesthort.org/> and specifically *Deborah Heg, Ann 
LeVasseur & Barbara Asmervig* for their initiative, creativity, time and 
hard work. Ralph and Lynn Davis donated the wine and many businesses and 
individuals <http://www.northwesthort.org/updates.html> donated items 
for the silent auction. The proceeds of over $13,000 from the event will 
directly benefit the Library's operating budget.  We appreciate your 
support! 


      David H. Fishman Exhibit

David H. Fishman's love of horticulture and photography combine with his 
skills in photo restoration and graphics to create stunning works. His 
attention to detail makes his plant portraits "so realistic they jump 
off the page!"  The photographs reflect his fascination with the 
beautiful and the unusual. His solo show, /Unique Botanical Portraits,/ 
will be on display at the Miller Library June 1 through July 30, 2009.
