Thanks Sara Damewood for this message:
Hi, Everyone! I know that many of you were/are interested in the Walk for Peace, so I just want to be sure you're aware that I donated my copy of Buddhist Monk Venerable Bhikku Pannakara's book "Footsteps of a Buddhist Monk" to the Richland County Public Library: https://www.richlandlibrary.com/catalog?search-type-form=catalog&q=Footsteps+of+a+Buddhist+Monk This is about his first journey, retracing the footsteps of the Buddha. I think his book about the Walk for Peace in America is still in process.
There were only a limited number of these books printed, so I hope the library keeps it in circulation rather than selling it at one of their book sales! It's a collector's item, and I told them that. So, hopefully, it will be around for a while.

Ebooks, movies, music, and events free for Richland Library cardholders. Attend storytime, craft lessons, and performances at any of our locations. Access freely with Richland Library.
