I received great news in the mail the other day: the local Cultural Council approved grant funding of the January program in almost the full amount requested!  I had made a modest request this year, knowing that the state cultural council funding has dropped quite a bit, and I was very, very pleased to learn that our local Cultural Council is willing to support the program that I chose for this year.

The program will be a Magic Show by Bonaparte, on an early release Wednesday in January.  Bonaparte is terrific (he has done one other show at the library in my tenure), and I’m thrilled that he’ll be returning in January.  Many, many thanks to the Cultural Council, and to the Friends of the Library, for supporting this great event!
