The Top Drawer Collection is a collection of works by Kenai Peninsula writers put into circulation by the Homer Public Library. The program was begun years ago by Joy and Norman Griffin because they thought it a shame that many of the stories written by their local writers' group were read once or twice by the authors' friends and spouses then put away in top desk drawers and often forgotten. Read more at: http://litsite.alaska.edu/uaa/aklibraries/drawer.html The Top Drawer program has become part of the Friends' annual National Library Week celebration (first week in April) and the collection is expanded each April. On April 5th, 2006, eight new works by local authors were added to the Top Drawer Collection and one was selected for the Top Shelf award. The authors whose works were added tot he Top Drawer collection in 2006 were: Dan Crane, Mary Langham, Brenda Dolma, Peter Garay, Syd Huffnagle and Shoshanna Rourke. Check out the Summer edition of the At the Homer Public Library newsletter for an excerpt from Dan Crane's Poems Without Rhyme or Reason and a Couple of Yarns. If you are interested in submitting your work to the Top Drawer Program for 2008, submission guidelines will be available in November.
