Well, I'm sorry to say that the library in which I work has had to lay off 11 fabulous employees from now until the end of the year. It's been a really crazy and emotional week, so I haven't gotten too far in my reading of The Lost Girls of Rome. The book is great, so far, although I'm only on page 55. The translation is fantastic. I've read translated books before, and some are really disappointing. Thank goodness, this is not one of them. I'll keep you updated on my progress.
In the meantime, consider donating to your local libraries! Mine is the Ephrata Public Library, and we need money! There are so many people who don't realize that libraries are an important part of our communities. They are not becoming obsolete, and books are still relevant! But the library is so much more than just books, movies, TV shows, and video games. We had to cancel 122 programs that were scheduled between November 17th and December 31st of this year. 122! That's crazy! Do you know how many people that affects?
So please, even if you don't use your public library, your donation will do so much to help bring back the programs your community needs.
