Ode to Librarians

This group of lovely {classy, enthusiastic, heartwarming and... stylish!} ladies hold my highest respect.

Tristan and I, Seth, Mrs Joanne holding Rowan, Mrs Bep and Mrs Nanda (missing Mrs Sandy).

 When I first met this team at the old Drayton library downtown they were immediately warm and friendly.  They made me feel right at home, like my many questions were not too many and so we quickly became friends.  They were enthusiastic about my babies and watching them grow, they helped me find countless books for all our little obsessions (Mrs Joanne even lent her personal binoculars when delving into birds!).  We also had this common bond of Christ as our Saviour, and a strong dutch heritage. Seth and Tristan loved attending the lively programs Mrs Sandy offered, and I found it a great way to meet people in the community.  
I will be the first to tell you that even if all the land taxes we had to pay in Drayton went straight to the library, we would still be in debt for the amount of items we borrowed!  Fiction, non-fiction, magazines, board books, Cd's, Dvd's, Play-aways... you name it, they had it or could get it. 
So often I said to my mom "Have you read...." and she would say "where did you find that?"
Leave it to a small town library :)
The library in Taber will be one of the first things to check out... and even if the resources are similar to those in Drayton, the Librarians are going to have a lot to live up to!
Thank you.
We love you all!!!!!
 God Bless.

p.s. we'll be back sometime:)
