A BIG THANK YOU is extended to outgoing President Debra Dombrowski for her leadership and service, and to all of the volunteers who tirelessly serve on the Friends Board of Directors for the benefit of the community. I look forward to serving along with the outstanding group of servant leaders.

Henry David Thoreau said, “How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book! The book exists for us, perchance, which will explain our miracles and reveal new ones.”
What did you read last night and what will you read tomorrow?
Read, Learn, and Turn Off the Television,
Jan Irons Harris
(President, Friends of the Library)
