Dear Reader,
"I never knew how much I'd really miss you.
I never knew how much I really cared..."
"Or something like that. My librarians would have known, or researched, the correct lyrics." wrote book club reader Nancy B., from Bluffton SC.
This week we're celebrating National Library Week at the book clubs.
"Of all the places I miss going to during this pandemic," Nancy continued, "I miss my library the most--the Bluffton branch of the Beaufort County, SC, library system. Having a pile of long-ago-due books to return but knowing all late fees are being waived isn't much consolation.
Thank you to the restockers for your tireless effort, constant smiles and right-on recommendations. Thank you to the researchers for seeming to know everything that happened, and when. Thank you to all for taking as much interest in us middle-agers (even though the CDC now calls me 'elderly') and planning activities for us, as well as the youngsters. Thank you for re-teaching me how to use the Dewey Decimal system. Shout-out a 'thank you' to librarians everywhere." -- Nancy B.
Please take a moment and say "Thank You" to your library for providing their Online Book Club. I'm sending your messages to them.

Today's giveaway is a set of three Genuine Leather Book Marks.
Smile! Readers share some "funnies".
A man walks into a library and orders linguini with white clam sauce. The librarian says, "This is a library!"
The man says, "Oh, so sorry." (Then in a whisper) "I'd like some linguine with white clam sauce." -- Compliments of book club reader, Lauralee F.
"Hi Suzanne, everyone needs a smile. Here is one you can share..
My three year old grandson is doing distance learning at home. As we all know, three year olds are virtual sponges, absorbing everything around them.
My daughter sat down with my grandson for a lesson, a couple of days after receiving their Chromebook. When it didn't light up quickly enough for my grandson, he tapped the mouse on the table a couple of times, then muttered a string of obscenities!
When my daughter related this story to me she added, 'I guess it didn't go so well with his dad yesterday!' Keep smiling!"
-- Linda F.
Funnies from Janice M.--"I felt something cold and wet on my arm and was shocked to see a @$# mosquito using a disinfectant wipe on my arm before biting me.
I gave up eating chocolate for a month. Sorry, bad punctuation. I'm giving up. I'm eating chocolate for a month."
Keep those "Thank you's" and Funnies coming my way.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
