Sass with Spillman... The library recently held a small campaign focusing on Why the Library Matters to Me where we asked our library users to take time to fill out postcards to find out exactly why. We received all kinds of truly wonderful responses from small children just learning to form their letters to spunky teens to adults of all ages. As I took time to read these postcards, I found myself tearing up because I instantly became immersed in the lives of the people we have touched in so many special ways. I wanted to share some of my favorites with you below. Visit us at one of our 6 branches, like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, download our MCLS app, email or instant chat with us online at muskingumlibrary.org. We d love to help you find the information you seek or hear why your Library matters to you! Connect with us! Jennifer Spillman jspillman@muskingumlibrary.org 740-453-0391 2
