Something as simple as a book has the power to uplift us during difficult times.
Dear Friends,

Shortly after we resumed service this summer, a patron left a note for us saying, "Thank you for the books." It brought a smile to everyone's face. More importantly, it reminded us that something as simple as a book has the power to uplift us during difficult times. Real or true, sung, spoken or read, stories provide us with numerous benefits: knowledge, insight, connection, family time, laughter, escape, inspiration...and the list goes on.

Here at Radnor Memorial Library, we have been dedicated to getting stories into your hands no matter the circumstances. Along the way, we have even found new ways for you to access our materials. And you have! In fact, in November 2020 you borrowed 92% of what you borrowed last November. That is a testament to the power that books have played in your lives-and the important role the library plays in our community.

As library lovers, you know that library resources reach far beyond books. They include things like internet and computer access, basic computer assistance, specialized research materials and expertise, reading recommendations, special collections on topics such as local history and gardening, multilingual books, countless educational and entertainment programs, and more. We have worked diligently to continue to provide these services in creative ways and you have utilized them all year long.

If you have supported library efforts in the past with a donation-thank you! We appreciate your support. If you have not, please consider making a year-end contribution to Radnor Memorial Library this year if you are able. Every gift, no matter how large or small, makes it possible for us to continue to provide library materials, programs and services - including stories - to you and your neighbors.

Best wishes for a safe and healthy New Year,
Joyce Platfoot
Executive Director
