January is shaping up to be quite a month for those interested in the life and times of one Mr. Sherlock Holmes. For those with a hearty countenance, tomorrow begins the BSI festivities in New York City.
And for those whose circulation is adapted for the warmer climes, an equally exciting set of events will be taking place on January 18 - 19 in Savannah, Georgia. I refer to the Live Oak Public Libraries Foundation 7th Annual Gala: "Once Upon a Time." You may download a flyer here.

Another special guest is Tim Johnson, curator of the Sherlock Holmes Collection at the University of Minnesota Libraries. Tim will be bringing some extremely rare items related to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes: original Frederick Dorr Steele illustrations, a special edition of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes owned by a Russian czarina and a rare 1887 Beeton's Christmas Annual, to name a few.
Chapter II: A History of the Mystery is a literary luncheon to be held on Friday, January 19 at 11:30 a.m. at the Chatham Club at the DeSoto Hilton Savannah. There in Savannah's Landmark Historic District, author Nicholas Kilmer
