News and Notes

   Somewhere they’re playing Taps….

This belongs in the Sad Announcement Category - Sarasota News and Books will close at the end of August. This is a real tragedy for writers and readers and people who simply liked to sip coffee and read the news. Any writer who may have books on consignment should contact the owners and make arrangements for their return.
