Books make the holidays brighter! We recently received this thank you note from the local Meals on Wheels coordinator: 
"A heartfelt Thank-You from Meals on Wheels to the Friends of the Library for the donation of paperbacks as holiday gifts to our clients. We will be delivering a fabulous holiday meal on Fri 12/24 to 45 home-bound seniors. They will be receiving a gift from a local group plus the book plus other holiday goodies. Thanks for your part in bringing holiday cheer to local seniors."
