Wedsworth Memorial Library would like to extend an enormous thank you to everyone who attended our recent book sale. Everyone was so generous. We appreciate your support of the library. It is so encouraging to see that the community values the Library and the services we try to provide. Thank you. You make us feel that we are important to the community.
We couldn’t have accomplished the sale if it wasn’t for our wonderful volunteers. They were outstanding. It takes a lot of hours and dedication to bring the sale alive before anyone ever steps through the doors. Then, there were those who went out of their way to bring the most delicious soup and cookies with a salad or two. Once again – thank you. If you missed this delicious food, you missed a splendid feast.
Lest not we forget, where would we be if it wasn’t for the Friends of the Library? Their support is invaluable to maintain our library services. At this time we also want to thank the Wedsworth Trust and the Town of Cascade because their financial and overall support allows the library to keep their doors open. Without them our future might be a tad uncertain.
So what does this money provide, you might ask. Whether you check out a book, DVD or audiobook we are there for you. For those who use our library intermittently when you need to quickly print off a return label, or when your printer quit working, or the internet is down, or you need to fax; we are there for you. We are there for you to use our meeting room, our Wi-Fi 24/7, find tax forms, peruse our archives for genealogy, or attend one of our programs.
We try to be there for you to the best of our abilities. In order for us to provide the services we currently do and want to provide in the future, we depend on the generosity of our patrons. Donations and the book sale money allow us to bring in special speakers or entertainers; supports the Summer Reading Program; all the extras outside our basic budget and of course the treats you love.
We enjoyed seeing all who browsed, sampled a bite or two of soup and stayed on to visit and socialize. We love to host our book sale for that very opportunity of seeing the community being a community – visiting.
Then we witnessed the whirlwind of volunteers to tear down. Wow, they were so efficient and FAST! You made it look so simple and easy! What a great group of people.
And of course, we value those who came and shopped. It was great to visit with old friends and meet new. Without you, our efforts would have been in vain. And we thank everyone for being patient when our math was maybe a bit out of sorts. We blamed it all on the new math! Thank you one and all.
It was amazing to see how the community appreciates the library and our efforts to provide what you require and need. So, once again we thank all of you and want you to know how much WE APPRECIATE YOU. We hope to see you next year on Columbus Day weekend.
