E-mail message from an appreciative library patron

A copy of an e-mail message sent through the blog on 7/6/09:

Jennifer... just wanted to write and thank you for taking the time out of your and Brian's busy life to make a G'ville Library Blog.... looks great! I also want to thank all who have made our new location possible!!!

I especially want to thank you for this Blog Jennifer, because your having created it, gives me the opportunity to say publically: through the many years I have been coming to a Library... I have seldom met any Librarians as personable or more caring than our G'ville Librarians. Am looking forward to being assisted by them in the days to come at our new location .... the gift of being served through the generous spirit of Billie and Denise in particular and coming to know them as friends of our local Community these past years has made my heart sing.

Thank you Billie and Denise ... thanks also to those who have served along side Billie in days gone by, I am sure others will agree in their hearts, when they read: your kindness and thoughtfulness has been much appreciated by our small town community. Brenda (bren) Ward
