The book store reopened on February 1, on Fridays and Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The volunteers have been working through the winter to bring you some good choices for your winter reading. Please drop in to say hello.

Agnes Lewis who has been in charge of the classics for many years is looking for an assistant. If you are interested she would be delighted for your help, she is not able to do all that she once was. Drop into the bookstore and leave your name or you can do so at the library. I promise you that you will love it and will enjoy working with a great group of people.

It is with great sadness that I report the death of Georgette Mac-Namee, one of the "Friends" for many years. Georgette was one of the staunchest supporters of the Used Book Store and no one worked harder than she did to make it the place that we all love. She was responsible for New Fiction, Old Fiction and her favorite category, the Children's Section. Every day during the summer months she walked from her house to the book store to price the books and fill her shelves. Georgette taught elementary school in Massachusetts for many years and loved teaching young children.

"Some loving souls that my heart held dear,

In silent sorrow will drop a tear,

But I shall have peacefully furled my sail

In moorings sheltered from storm and gale,

And greeted the friends who have sailed before

O'er the Unknown Sea to the Unseen Shore."

From the Unseen Shore

by Lizzie Clark Hardy

We will miss you Georgette.
