Now I benefit from the great alliance that we have with the library to make this community a better place. The library is an indicator on how well civilized a community is. It is a real testament to this community. Don's successor will have big shoes to fill, but I know she will be terrific as well as she is standing on a great foundation. Thank you to the entire team.
