Spring is finally HERE!!

Wednesday, it was 32 and snowed!Today the temperature is going to go to 71. No wonder people are getting the sniffles; everything is in full bloom. As much as I'd like to be there, I won't be walking in the woods today for lunch. We are hosting a group of librarians and will be showing them all the ways we enrich people's lives from Braille and large print books to audio books. Since our library is in transition, not only in name but also changing the way we deliver audio books from analog format to digital format, we will be focusing on how we can better partner with local libraries throughout the state to make reading available to everyone, not just those who can hold or see the printed page. Local libraries are like community centers. Many people use their library for more than just a place to go to pick-up the latest best-seller. Story hour, films, music, computers, teen activities, senior programs, classes and demonstrations; you name it, libraries are where it's at! With this in mind, we are all awakening to a new Spring and the opportunities the season brings. Maybe the sniffles are just Nature's way of reminding us of this renewal and, after depleting the tissue, to make the most of it.
