opening at Greene Avenue and surpassing any month since 2002 at the old library. Children and teens accounted for 88
of the new cards issued, a record for this library! We hope all these new library members will find they “… can sit in our
library and yet be in all quarters of the earth.” John Lubbock 1834-1913, Biologist
