  • Bookends Summer 2017 to Email.Pub
    SUMMER 2017 Friends of the (Jackson-Madison County) Library Newsletter PRESIDENT’S CORNER by Sue Ann Barnes, President - Friends of the Library Board Hiatus, what a wonderful word. It is from the Latin haire to yawn, with one of the meanings being an interruption in time or continuity. (10th ed. of MW Collegiate Dictionary) Friends of the Library now takes a summer hiatus from our first Thursday Noon Programs. So I won’t be telling you of poets, authors or story tellers in this summer edition of Bookends, but that does not mean that you won’t have things to do or that I don’t have news to share with you. First of all, looking back to our spring programs, library patrons and FOL members were exposed to poetry that really struck our heart strings and exhibited poetry’s ability to tell wonderful stories in a few, very well chosen, words. Those who came to Harry Moore’s noon program in early April and Robert Cooperman’s two presentations in our late April symposium, heard master wordsmiths read their poems and talk of their craft. In March, there was a fascinating presentation by Jackie Utley on Victorian mourning jewelry that informed, entertained and delighted us. In May, 22 happy gardeners came to the library to hear Christine Warrington share information on succulents and to show us clever ways to grow and IN THIS ISSUE show them off. Many also participated in our plant swap, happily taking President’s Corner ............ 1-2 home pots of new finds. Director’s Column ...............
