PAGE 4 THE POST COMM Sunday, April 2, 2006 BOOKSTORE Continued from Page 1 hospitable.” The bookstore closed right be- fore Christmas and the renova- tion work began Jan. 2. Today, with its new red carpeting, more shelves and a fresh coat of paint, the bookstore shines like a sports car in a showroom. “I'm very pleased with it,” said Krohle, a retired Wilkes Universi- ty reference librarian. “Not only did they do a good job, the end re- sult is better than we expected.” Lemmond talked about his love of reading books while growing up in Forty Fort and as student at Harvard University and the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. “A library plays a huge role in a community,” he said. “First of all, it gets kids to read and it main- tains their interest in what can be a cornerstone of education.” The longtime state senator en- couraged everyone at the dedica- tion ceremony to read “Team of “A library plays a huge role in a community. First of all, it gets kids to read and it maintains their in- terest in what can be a cornerstone of education.” State Sen. Charles Lemmond Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln” by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Lemmond says the nation’s 16th president would have felt right at home in the Back Mountain community. “(Lincoln) scoured the country looking for things to read,” said Lemmond. “He knew the impor- tance of libraries and reading. He read everything he could get his hands on. If he lived on Lehman Avenue (in Dallas) where we do, he’d be looking for your job.” The bookstore’s shelves are fil- led with books have been donated to the library, but can’t be used in its regular collection. It offers readers a variety of books, com- pact discs and puzzles at discount prices. For example, “My American Journey” by former Secretary of State Colin Powell sells for $3 and there are more than a dozen Sid- ney Sheldon books, ranging from 75 cents to $5. Children’s books are available for 50 cents. The bookstore is open from 1-7 p.m. Monday; 10 am. to 7 p.m. Wednesday; and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Lemmond praised the work of Krohle and his staff. He also hopes more members of the community will take advantage of the library. “Pred has been a tower of strength for this library,” said Lemmond. “He brings charm and an effervescent personality.” And the senator said he was compelled to attend the re-open- ing. “It was important for me to be here. I've been a supporter of li- braries for as long as I can remem- ber. I wish more people knew what they have right in their own backyard. This is a fantastic li- brary.” CIVIC BRIEFS American Legion holding ham raffle The Daddow-Isaacs Post 672 Dallas American Legion will hold its annual ham raffle at 1 p.m. Sunday, April 9 at the Post Home on Route 415.
