    Dear Friends,

    EMIERT member Richard Ashby, Jr. (Immediate Past President of the Black Caucus of the American Library Association) was recently featured on the Channel 11 news, "Proud to be from Pittsburg," segment.  The news segment highlighted Ashby's commitment to promote independent/self-published African-American authors at the Sto Rox Public Library in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania.
