Dear Reader,
This is National Library Week and I'd personally like to thank all of the folks who work so hard to make libraries everywhere resourceful, relaxing and remarkable places to visit. Last week I asked readers to send me an email nominating their favorite librarian, or any staff person who works at their library, and if I used their email in my column this week, I would send the nominee a gift in honor of National Library Week. I'm pleased to say my mailbox continues to overflow with beautiful stories and nominations for not only public librarians, but also school, and even Bookmobile librarians.
"Hi Suzanne,
I read a lot of books thanks to you and your book club. I use the public library, or else I'd be broke:-), and I always request that my books be sent to the Lorton Branch of the Fairfax County library system. I'm close to two branches but the Lorton one is small and has a very dedicated staff of book lovers. I think they are all on some form of 'happy pill' because they are always in good moods when I come in. It's a busy branch, full of kids and many non-English speakers, so they might occasionally be frustrated, but not this group of women! They pull all my books so they are waiting for me and are the nicest group of ladies. We used to have a senior gentleman who was also very kind, but sadly he passed on to the branch up above.
I nominate the entire group of women for being kind and helpful and who are always ready to say hello when I walk through the door!"
--Karen Moore
Congratulations to the staff at the Lorton Branch of the Fairfax County Library System. Your gift is on the way. Please do send us a photo. We'd love to share in your celebration.
* If you would like to thank someone at your library, write a note and drop it off at your library, or send your note in an email to me and I'll see that it's forwarded to your library.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
