[Cro Dreoilin] Temple of the River Celtic Library Contest

[Chris and Kelley]

Have you guys ever heard of the Old Belief Society?  They founded the 
first physical temple for Celtic Polytheism in the States, the Temple of 
the River.  Unfortunately, that temple has closed now and they are 
liquidating the holdings, including the library.

This library of 41 books was to be given away, in a contest where judges 
would choose the best essay and award the books to its authors.

We are pleased to announce that we have won the contest!  You can see 
the official announcement, here:

We look forward to having these books to share with you all!  After they 
arrive, we will be sure to pick one from the new set for the next 
month's Reading Group, one we can loan out, to celebrate!
