The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE)project The National Gallery of Writing “is a virtual space — a Web site — where people who perhaps have never thought of themselves as writers — mothers, bus drivers, fathers, veterans, nurses, firefighters, sanitation workers, stockbrokers — select and post one thing they have written that is important to them. The Gallery accommodates any composition format — from word processing to photography, audio recording to text messages—and all types of writing — from letters to lists, memoirs to memos.”

The curator of the project, R. Joseph Rodriguez, Ph.D., has created a gallery, Memories of Libraries and Bookjoy which honors Pat and her concept of bookjoy.
