CEDAR MILL COMMUNITY LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Volume 43, Number 1 • January-February 2018 From the President’s Corner by Anne Madden President Dear friends of our libraries... Welcome to a new year anda somewhat new Board of Directors. I am pleased to be chairing such a fine group, and helping Peter and all the staff guide our libraries through another memorable year. We area rather remarkable institution, having risen up over 40 years ago through the efforts of volunteers, to provide learning and joy to our ever-growing unincorporated community. We are right behind the Hillsboro and Beaverton Libraries when it comes to strength, numbers and popular use! Just think how many children have their first memories of books and stories and mental adventures with us! And then there are all the grownups who find support for their minds and hearts and even their pocketbooks with our resources. Thanks to all of you who make this possible – all those volunteer hours (over 31,000!), all those financial donations (over $160,000!), all that shopping at Second Edition (keep it up!) . And have you checked out the book sale shelves lately? Now thereis a bonanza waiting for you, and at such good prices. Please remember us when you have books that don’t fit your own needs anymore – we know how to put them to best use. see President’s Corner on page 2 Happy New Year The beginning of a new year is a great time to start something new or make a resolution for selfimprovement. Whatever your resolution, the library has information to help you. Librarians can help you find diet books, fitness DVDs, or financial planning information. If you would like to learn anew skill, become better informed about current events or learn more about any subject, make the library the first stop on your quest!
