She&#8217;s an excellent writer with a wide range of reading interests that has helped to make our blog diverse and dynamic. With over 120 posts to her credit Tana wrote, among other things, about &#8220;literary&#8221; fiction, non-fiction covering contemporary issues and many of the themed displays at the library. I particularly liked Tana&#8217;s series of RAGBRAI posts, written in 2008 starting with the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.davenportlibrary.com\/reference\/2008\/07\/3-hs-of-ragbrai\/\" target=\"_blank\">July 22 post<\/a><\/strong>.
