NEWSLETTER APRIL 2016
Dear Friend of the Public Library,
I hope that this letter finds you doing
well. The fence challenge donation was
met! Staking of the fence should begin
soon and it may even be done in time
for Dogwood! I am looking forward to
seeing the result!
I recently read “The Paradox of
Choice”, which I was able to borrow
from the ebook selections available
through OWWL2Go. It took me almost
the entire loan period to work through,
but I was reminded how enjoyable it is
to read for even a few minutes a day. If
you are not currently reading something,
I encourage you to pick a new book for
your nightstand or coffee table.
This semester I am taking a class on social
inequalities and recently learned about the
effects of disparities in access to educa-
tional resources and cultural capital during
childhood on adult outcomes. In Dans-
ville, we are fortunate to have the public
library as a community resource for all
families. Through the provision of a vast
supply of books, internet access and edu-
cational programs, our library the serves a
valued role in providing opportunities for
learning which may not otherwise be
available to some families.
Sincerely,
Jamie Blum, President
OWWL2GO
Did you get an e-reader
