    Linda N, one of the commenters, sent this picture of people cheering the opening of a library

    Thanks to all you library-lovers out there, plus FFLL (Friends and Family of Library Lovers), I have exceeded my goal of $50 and raised $62 for the Louisville Free Public Library!  I especially like this number because I grew up on 62nd Street, so any flash of resonance is especially pleasing.

    Thanks especially to Emily and Ginger, whose guest posts brought in fresh sources of fun and funds, and to those wacky pals at Vermont College who commented in droves.  I must admit that part of the reason I undertook this challenge was to kick-start myself back into blogging, and I really enjoyed the dialogue.  Maybe some of you will even come back!

    Off to have brunch at a new place (new to me, I mean)–

    ~Jess

      Hurray! 62 is a nice, round number, and I’m sure it will be appreciated by the folks at the Louisville library! Thanks for letting me be part of your fundraising efforts!
