Dear Reader,
Congratulations to this month's Chocolate Chip Cookie winners. This month I'm baking for book club readers and their favorite librarians.
"I love my local library, the Kathleen Clay Edwards Family Branch of the Greensboro Public Library, because the staff is friendly. It's located in a park with beautiful trails. They have great service (my books are always on reserve for me, ready to be picked up) and they even have a self-serve check out. In addition, it has a great movie and books-on-cd collection which is very entertaining in these budget tense times. It also has a fire place in the reading area with the periodicals. Overall, it's a great place to be!"--Karen Madrone
"I would love to win a bag of cookies for my local library, the Bucks County - Levittown Branch. Last week, when I went to return my books, everyone was upset because our legislators were thinking of cutting back library funding by 50%! That would mean serious problems for my branch! So the librarians were sponsoring a petition and also asking patrons to sit and write letters to the congress representatives which they would send out the next day. I am hoping our letters and petition will stop this foolish idea of funding cuts for a program that we need more than ever. In the meantime, maybe your cookies and some appreciation would boost the morale of some great people who always smile and help us readers!" --Debbie Beck
"The Canyon Hills library is a small branch that gets the books I want from the big library and calls me when they come in. It is really cool because they stay open until 6:00pm on Saturday night so you can shop all day and still get to the library for your new reads. They also train us to be tech savvy by not charging us for reserved books if we will check them out on the scanner ourselves. But if you have problems, they help you and still don't charge you. Very nice people at Canyon Hills." --Eileen LaMorte
Cookies are on the way. Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
Warmest regards,
Suzanne Beecher
