Zoie and Laurie went up there 2 years ago. (I use "up" as it is about 3 hrs north of me). Delilah and I had talked about going sometime too. It is really small but quite neat. They have some letters and dolls and one of the orig. manuscripts (can't think of which one right now!) But at the time they were at the library no one was really around so they asked and were able to actually TOUCH the manuscript! I think there was also a blank tablet there. I am going to have to ask them about that trip again - memory fails the details :-( Oh - and whilst in Pomona they went in search of Maude Hart Lovelace's house (Betsy/Tacy writer). They found it and had the nerve to go up to the door and the current owner let them inside They also ate at the diner where she would commonly eat at.

I spelled Pomona wrong too and didn't even realize it! That must have been so cool to have been able to touch the manuscript. Bet that doesn't happen every day.
Wow, I'm surprised they were let inside Maude Hart Lovelace's house. That was nice of the real owner.
I need to travel more! One of these years I'd like to see some of the LIW sites.
