Early in May, an energetic and talented crew of trustees (Deirdre Leland, George Leyden and Gerry Leggieri) and friends (Frank Rhyner and Dan Balon) assembled in the library to install new hardwood flooring. It was a major undertaking, but — we're sure you'll agree — it was well worth the effort. The photos here (for which we're indebted to Deirdre) chronicle the project.
If you haven't seen it yet, stop in for a visit soon.

George! George! We've come so far,
please don't give out on us now !

It was a lot of work, but the results speak for themselves, making our little library even more inviting than ever. Stop in and see for yourself. Many thanks to all who worked so hard to make it happen!
