Wishing you all a great year with your Friends group. I'd like to start the new year out with a special quote. It's one that speaks to the who and how our Friends groups come together and create the greatness for each of our libraries.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
To start the new year off, I'm going to the Mail Bag to let everyone know about Burlington's accomplishment. We all need to embrace using the Web for all it offers. Mind you not you can not exclude the personal touch when it comes to membership. Remember those hand written notes go a long way to say Thank You to our members.

Hi Patty,
I attended the FOCL conference where you spoke this past fall and was enthusiastic about your ideas for gaining membership. After discussing some ideas our "friends" Board voted to set up a pay pal account to allow people to donate on our website: http://www.friendsburlib.org/. Now we will work on getting the news out. Thanks for the encouragement.
Anne Walluk, President, Burlington Library Association, "Friends of the Library"
