Weekly Update – October 29, 2013
Quote of the Week
“The resource sharing is great! We are a small library and thus can not buy every book that each and every patron wants, with the resource sharing we can get them almost any book usually within a week’s time. The patrons love it.”— Celia Bandelier, Director, Roanoke Public Library
