This week, two of our SEATTLE CHANNEL hosts, Art Zone‘s Nancy Guppy and Book Lust‘s Nancy Pearl, received much deserved recognition for their excellence! First, City Arts‘ put Ms. Guppy on their list of Seattle’s top Culture Makers, writing “A passionate art lover who has been performing since the mid-’80s, Guppy now uses her media clout to showcase local artists and performers on Seattle Channel’s weekly show Art Zone.” Check out the City Arts’ article for more. Go to Art Zone‘s web page to watch recent shows.

And don’t overlook Nancy Pearl being named Library Journal‘s “Librarian of the Year.” Library Journal wrote, Pearl’s “work has reinforced reading via libraries as essential and empowering for all people.” Read the whole article on LJ’s website. And be sure to watch the latest episode of Book Lust when Pearl interviews best-selling satirist, thriller-writer and Floridian Carl Hiaasen .
