                      BOOK' EM!

   We're already half way through February

and I've failed to mention this is

"National Library Month!"  We have some

really great Libraries around these parts

and they've all adapted to today's

technology. Not only can you check out

books on line but in some libraries you

can check out things like medal detectors

and such! I'm not a big user of the

library but I used to be. I just found an

old newspaper article that lists me

along with about a hundred other 

kids who participated in the Heritage

of America Reading Club of the

Children's Department at the Hazleton

Public Library in 1952. Seems I got

credit for reading 8 books that year.

I'd probably have received credit

for 30 or more had Comic Books

be included. My wife is an ardent

reader. She has a book with her at

all times and frequently uses the

library. She'd probably get a room

there if she could. But she couldn't.

They were "Overbooked!"

Hope you're using your library 

and that all your NEWS is good!
