This has been a cold month and I felt very cold too! Our printer decided not to talk to our new computer, but thanks to our computer “specialist” it is working now. There are a few problems still, but I can use it now.
I have been weeding books and seeing how we can change things around. To celebrate Black History month, I have highlighted several books by Black authors, for the enjoyment of our patrons.
We are excited to have the papers from the county, vital records, Cemetery Indexes, Town Histories, Biographical Sketches, Church & Military Records and much more to those interested in Greene County history. You can access the site at https://greenecounty.advantage.preservation.com and enjoy reading and discovering the history of our area. This was a project sponsored by many Greene County people and organizations. There were a lot of fundraisers and memorial gifts given for this endeavor, and we were glad we could contribute. Check this out and you will be surprised at what you find!
I am truly looking forward to spring. I try to walk for exercise. I used to walk down our gravel road, but it is not safe to do that now. Just the sunshine the past few days has felt good. It even felt good at 25 degrees.
I have several regular patrons come into the library, in spite of the cold weather. I have tried to stay open when others have been closed, and am hopeful there will be more that feel comfortable venturing out, when the snow is gone.
I am looking forward to having the younger patrons come back to the library. Everyone is tired of this pandemic. I think the ones who have been taking classes on Zoom would be wanting to get back to school.
As a quick, personal note includes the fact that my husband and I have had our first shot! YAY! Still wearing the mask and so are the patrons.
