Quarter 2012/2013
Headline (SCBC Headquarters) -
'Tis the season for good books...or simply reading tons of books!
Technology keeps our favorite books at our fingertips at a rate
of 100 or even 1000 titles. What are we talking about? With
publishers offering more and MORE title available for reading
electronically via Nook, Kindle, GoogleBooks (Android tablets) and
the like; it has become easier to "grab" a book for reading.
So, now, in addition to auditing your bookshelf for the year,
time to audit and add to your electronic reading device!
Happy techie reading!
Read on...ALWAYS!

Michael Baisden, writer...
No one
can forget the first delivery by Michael Baisden...do you
remember what it was?
 Never
Satisfied introduced avid readers to the charismatic
author from Chicago. We fast forward to today and
Michael Baisden has become the "household name" he
wanted it to be.
Television and radio keep his name "trending", yet, it is the
avid reader will never forget his roots were planted as a
writer.
