The SWGRL Spotlight A monthly e-news and information publication of the Southwest Georgia Regional Library System. April 2019 Volume 10, Issue 9 "Nothing will replace the feeling of first getting lost in a library, looking up in a haze after you've spent hours looking down into a book. Every writer was first a reader, and those lovely memories of long afternoons spent in stacks is something we all cherish. We write in the hope of someday creating that same experience for someone else." ~ E.A. Aymar |
