<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">It shows what can be done at the local community level with just a little innovation and business support. Having the students actually help paint was especially
noteworthy. What a wonderful way to make them feel ownership of the library. The hot chocolate bar was a nice touch, too.
