J I M W O O T E N : F RIENDS T O F RIENDS I’m enormously excited about an upcoming event that, I think, has the potential to be the finest in the Southeastern United States. It’s Murder Goes South, a book festi- val for mystery writers and readers that brings together some of the most prominent emerging authors in the entire county. It always amazes me how dedicated and organized the volunteers are who put the weekend event together. One little detail that I continue to find fascinating comes to mind. Ticket-buyers are asked whether they prefer a lunch sandwich of chicken salad, turkey and cheese or ham and cheese. I watch, half-way expecting a fight to break out when somebody forgets which they ordered and takes the wrong one, leaving too few for those who declare a definite prefer- ence. And yet, when the crowd is done, it all seems to have worked out. That’s because Volunteers Page Smith and Joan Stuart are meticulous in matching people and orders – and, just for good measure, they add a couple of the popular sandwiches to the mix. “It always amazes me Two other volunteers should be mentioned, too, in addition of course to Debbie how dedicated and Battiste and Linda Evans who are primarily responsible for pulling the program together. The husband-wife team of Jerry and Eleanor Champey make the most difficult of organized the volunteers logistical and timing problems disappear, for the most part at least. After every Murder Goes South weekend, he is busily engaged in making after-action notes on where glitches are who put the [Murder developed and how to do it differently next year. An example would be whether the tea or Goes South] weekend dessert are served at the Friday night dinner or already on the tables. This year we won’t be doing the Friday night dinner, but it’s likely to return in future years. event together. ” In any event, it is a marvelously informative and entertaining weekend that comes to fruition as the result of a lot of hard work by volunteers. We hope to see you there on January 24.

Everyone is counting on 2009 being better than 2008 and I hope it’s starting out well for you. The Library is expecting this to be its busiest year ever. “Many Smyrna 2008 was a difficult year for many people.

December 2008’s circulation of children’s materials was 13.5% higher than December 2007. We’ve noted similar increases in every other category. The number of library cardholders has increased from 30,663 to 34, 032. Our DVD collection has grown to over 3,000 titles and they were checked out over 26,000 times. (A quick calculation for you – If an average movie rental is $4.00, our users saved over $100,000 last year.) Circulation of adult books reached a new high and patrons used our internet computers over 28,000 times. In addition the Library added services that can help everyone in times of a tough economy. We now have online language software, business research tools and test prepara- tion software to prepare students for standardized tests like the SAT and the public for employment tests like the Civil Ser- vice Exam. These can give you a competitive edge in a tight job market. Check us out today and find new treasures in YOUR Smyrna Library. Michael Seigler is the director of the Smyrna Library.
