The Lee County Library Ladies love a success story! We love it even more when we are part of the story, or helped to achieve the happy ending.

We are lucky to have our student intern Breon Stephens who is an 11th grade student at the MLD Higher Learning Academy. We have known that Breon is a special young man for a long time. Before he was our intern he was a frequent flyer here at the Library; coming in most afternoons after school. Now Breon has been honored for his hard work in a tangible way. He recently received the Superintendent’s Award for Academic Achievement and several other awards at a ceremony at the Academy. We know that Breon deserves any honors he gets since he has shown his hard work ethic and devotion to studies for a long time to the “Library Ladies.”

Anniversary to note......

There is an anniversary I would like to note. Today is the 40th anniversary of the airing of " Sesame Street ." When my children were young " Sesame Street " had just started its fifth year. What was wonderful about those early years was that besides being a great learning tool for children, it was also just plain great television. Each day I could spend an hour with my children at 4:00PM and both generations would be entertained. (It is my humble opinion that Bert and Ernie are the best comedy team around!) The writing, the music and the comedy were just superior. I have not had an opportunity in years to see the program; and I know it has changed, but I still have happy memories of watching it with my little ones.

Don't even get me started on Mr. Rogers!

We love Randy, he is a frequent flier here at the Library. He also makes regular use of the State Library and is able to peruse the State Library Catalog by using the link we provide here at the blog. Pretty nifty..

Thanks Randy for agreeing to participate.
