Here's just a sprinkling of the delightful messages from library friends:

Thank you for everything you do to keep the library running. I’ve had a string of good reads that wouldn’t have been possible without your help.

~ Laura, East Lake Library patron

You provide the best healthcare services I have ever experienced. Let me explain, when I was bedridden with migraines, your audiobooks saved my daily mental health. As insomnia plagued me for weeks and weeks, it was the 2am accessibility to eBooks that saved me. You are all indispensable. My heartfelt thanks to everyone connected to my precious library.

~Renae, Hennepin County Library patron

We love our library because there are so many great books to choose from and it feels very nice to just wander among the books and take in all the quiet. The activities are very fun. We love our library!

~ Violet, Clive and Marigold, Eden Prairie Library patrons

Thank you for your always friendly service. It is precious have a free society where we can read lots of different materials!

~ Janet, Penn Lake Library patron
