Scarsdale Author Helps Restock Ailing Libraries

Local author Mel Parish’s books are on their way to libraries in need as part of the effort to restock facilities destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.

Silent Lies has been shipped after being vetted by Indie Authors for Hurricane Sandy Libraries, a group established in November 2012 by author K. S. Brooks. There are over one hundred authors from all over the world participating in the group and over 350 books have already been shipped to libraries in the tri-state area of Connecticut, New Jersey and New York.

“This is a great opportunity to connect libraries in need to authors willing to donate books—we work closely with the library systems to make certain they receive the genres they want,” says group founder K. S. Brooks. “We’re happy to have Mel Parish as part of our effort. Her generosity, which includes absorbing all related costs, is much appreciated.”
