Thank You for Everything!
My mama taught me to say thank you. Every Christmas and every birthday, I was required to sit down and write out thank you notes for the many gifts I received. I’ve been reflecting back on all the gifts Alamance County Public Library has received over the past year and how on earth to say thank you to such a long list of people and agencies and businesses that have contributed to our organization. In the past I would write an article and list all the names of the organization and people, but that list has grown to over 3 pages long! We’ve been given the gift of time—Volunteers coming to spend time helping with large programs or doing tasks to help us prepare for programs, or doing tasks we don’t have time to get to. We’ve been given the gift of wonderful services, such as the therapy dogs and their owners being available to be read to with PAWS for Reading, or the Alamance Cares offering STD testing, or the Alamance Arts popping up with some wonderful music in the middle of the day. Redbud Farms, Danny’s Café, Alamance Partnership for Children and Smitty’s Ice Cream helped kick-off our Alamance Reads program and many other local farms helped support the AR topic. Our partnership with the Burlington Royals creates an opportunity for school children to keep those reading skills sharp in the summer through our Summer Reading program. All in all we have partnered with over 120 people, agencies, and organizations as we strive to make an impact in our community. It is with the help of those listed below that we are able to fulfill our mission to provide learning opportunities for all members of our community to be successful in living a larger life by nurturing the heart and the mind. Thank you from the depths of my heart!
