The Friends of the Library book sale was a great success and everyone worked hard to make it so. Zeno Jacquat thinks more credit should be given to those behind the scenes workers who give so much time and energy to this yearly project. Such diligent stalwarts as Phil Robinson, Betty Gilchrist, Evelyn Krueger, Eleanor Locati, Barbara Plona, Elaine Kovarek, Shirley Christell, Janet Paulin, Ruth Loyd and May Bill need some recognition. And if I’ve missed somebody I’m sure I’ll hear about it and name them next week. The sale netted more than a thousand dollars this year!
