Recording by Bill Weaver - On the evening of Friday August 20, 2023, in the Cortes Co-Op Courtyard, 155 people arrived with their folding chairs to attend a 25th Anniversary Celebration for Marnie’s Books. First Marnie gave a history of her book selling, and the origins of the Courtyard. Then Shaena Lambert, Rex Weyler, Priya Huffman, Norm Gibbons, Ruth Ozeki, and Erin Robinsong read from their writing. For two hours these wonderful presenters held this large crowd spellbound. This event was Co-Sponsored by the Cortes Island Museum and Archives Society.
The following transcript begins with an introduction by Melanie Boyle, from the Cortes Island Museum.
