Denmon Photo) Library notes - I have been delivering books to several residents at the Meadows Apartments for many years and have become accustomed to the kind of books they each prefer. One of the ladies reads Bible stories on a weekly basis at the nursing home for a group of patients on each of the two floors. She also conducts a Bible study session once a month at the ~ nursing home. The book from the library that she finds most useful is by Charles M. Sheldon titled, “The Young People’s Book of Bible Stories’. She has this book in her possession on a temporary permanent loan, having been using it since February of 1987. I usually take 3 or 4 books for each of the other ladies, most of them by their favorite authors. This is one of the services the library is happy to provide and the gratitude which comes from the residents makes it all worthwhile. The Back Mountain Memorial Library was given the balance of the Cookbooks from the Dallas Junior Woman’s Club when they disbanded to be sold here with the profit going to benefit the library. There are still some of these cookbooks on hand and we are now selling them at $1.00 each. This is a very nice cookbook with recipes supplied by the club members and community residents. This cookbook would make a nice inexpensive gift. The girls at The Dallas Post called to tell me that there was some mail delivered there for me, a few weeks ago. The next time I stopped in, I picked it up. It was a letter from a former resident now living in Arlington, Virginia who had read publicity about the auction and the sweat shirts we were selling with auction logo. She inquired if she could purchase one by mail. This turned out to be a super arrangement; I mailed the sweat shirt to her and within a week, I received a letter from her with a check enclosed to cover the cost of the sweatshirt, the postage and an added donation for the library. Her comment in the letter, ‘I was born and raised in Dallas. I'll never forget the place. I love it!’”’ This is a pure case of public relations at work. It is also our first cash received for the 88 auction. One of the bookmarks included in our display case is pretty special and rather clever, it reads, “If my mother calls, I'm at the library’. Have you been at your library lately?
