---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Grace Larochelle - Library Sales <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Nov 20, 2025 at 4:10 PM Subject: Summer Visit from Author Sara Holly Ackerman To: <[email protected]> Hi Sally! I wanted to share the soon-to-publish news with you that Sara Holly Ackerman’s new book, *The Sweetest Taste* (which you can find here <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.edelweiss.plus/?sku=1958325481&g=4400__;!!KGKeukY!xF1zEWSZNiMClBed-aRrtyioLV7BouQY-HKAjr32RhJB6QdYeGvu_g_EWBCprbYJro0-QCp9qXR7agf45_FP4Yk$ > on Edelweiss) will be coming July 7th by Marble Press! Sara Holly Ackerman <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://sarahollyackerman.com/__;!!KGKeukY!xF1zEWSZNiMClBed-aRrtyioLV7BouQY-HKAjr32RhJB6QdYeGvu_g_EWBCprbYJro0-QCp9qXR7agf4-PSJ6vc$ > has written several other books, as well, and this one we’re very excited about. Since Sara is close by (she lives in Brooklyn and is a school librarian herself!) I wanted to share that she’d love to visit libraries who might want a local author to present/read her book and to sign books. I thought this might be a good fit for librarians beginning to build out their summer reading programming. Feel free to let librarians know they can get in touch with me (I’d also be happy to share the digital ARC of her book, as well!) and I can help coordinate with Sara - she doesn’t drive, living in Brooklyn, but can take public transit. Her books will be available from every book distributor for purchase, so libraries may purchase copies of her book to have attendees sign, as well. Questions? Let me know! -- Best Regards, Grace Larochelle I Children’s and Youth Library Sales Manager <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://marblepress.com__;!!KGKeukY!xF1zEWSZNiMClBed-aRrtyioLV7BouQY-HKAjr32RhJB6QdYeGvu_g_EWBCprbYJro0-QCp9qXR7agf4F7Zlx2Q$ > *Confidentiality Note:* This email and its attachments are intended solely for the designated recipient(s).
