To Alli and Staff,
My husband and I were delighted to tour your wonderful library on Wednesday, June 21st as part of the Passport Connection.
You went above all efforts to show us all the features of the library and the nature walk. The walk is special and it touched us to see it.
I love the organization of your library. It is warm and welcoming. You are very proud of your library and it is well deserved. |
|
Congratulations on your special connection to books and community service. We will be sure to see you all again.
- Pat and Jerry K.
