Journal Entry 1 by crrcookie from Tecumseh, Oklahoma USA on Thursday, January 10, 2008
On Saturday, December 8, 2007 a friend told me about the South Potomac Church in White Plains, Maryland and its Christmas Shop. When I (crrcookie) went to the Christmas Shop they were just about to close up for the day and they still had many things to give away including books. When I told them about BookCrossing and let them know that I would both enjoy the books and pass them along when we are done with them I was told to take all of the books with me.

If you would like to know more about the South Potomac Church you can visit their website South Potomoc Church.

This is a book that I don’t care to read before releasing it. I hope that the finder of this book enjoys it and has fun with BookCrossing.

Released 15 yrs ago (4/27/2008 UTC) at Day Of The Book (Street Festival) On Howard Avenue in Kensington, Maryland USA

RELEASE NOTES:

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE BOOK
Welcome to Old Town Kensington's Celebration of the International Day of the Book.


April twenty-third (the festival is on the nearest Sunday) is a symbolic day in world literature. Declared as International Day of the Book by UNESCO in 1995, this celebration of books and literature draws its inspiration from a Catalan tradition, the Festival of the Rose.

Legend has it that Saint George, Patron Saint of Catalonia and international knight-errant, slew a dragon about to devour a beautiful Catalan princess. From the dragon's blood sprouted a rosebush, from which the hero plucked the prettiest rose for the princess. Hence the traditional Rose Festival celebrated in Barcelona since the Middle Ages to honor chivalry and love. In 1923, this lover's "festa" became even more poetic when it merged with "el dia del llibre", or The Day of the Book, to mark the nearly simultaneous deaths of Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare, the two giants of literary history, on April 23, 1616.

On this day in Barcelona, bookstalls and street festivities run the length of the picturesque La Rambla, the old city's main boulevard and, according to the Spanish author Garcia Lorca, "the only street in the world which I wish would never end".

The Town of Kensington, Kensington Literary Group, and the Pauli Bellet Foundation Catalan Library, invite you to celebrate this wonderful day on Howard Ave, our "La Rambla".

Thanks for picking up one of the BookCrossing books that you found at the festival or selected from our booth. If you are joining BookCrossing please consider entering crrcookie as the member that referred you.
