Alumni Bookshelf,
I’m a ’94 Graduate of SUNY Oswego. I’ve recently illustrated a children’s book ‘And I Thought About You’ and I’d like to send it to the Alumni bookshelf. Is there a specific contact name that it can be addressed to?
Our book can be found on http://www.MascotBooks.com, Amazon and B&B.
Sincerely,
Lisa Carletta-Vieites
