I want to start my first column with a thank you to Vickie. She has been a godsend these past few months as she taught me the ins-and-outs of this job. I can’t thank her enough for the mentor she has been, and I have very big shoes to fill taking over from her. Vickie, enjoy retirement and know that you will be greatly missed at the library!
As we say goodbye, we also carry on with some well-loved traditions one of which is our annual Give for Good drive! It’s that time again to help the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana and Toys for Tots. Bring in canned goods, non-perishable food items, or new-unwrapped toys to any of our locations during the entire month of November.
From November 1st to the 30th we will be offering fine forgiveness for the items you donate to either organization. See our website, www.bossierlibrary.org, or visit or call any of our locations listed below for additional details. Any contribution you are able to make is much appreciated.
Note:
All Bossier Library locations will be closed Friday, November 10th in honor of Veteran’s Day.
