I'd like to share two items that may be of interest. First, Maine has a new checkoff on the state income tax form that allows taxpayers to make a donation to public libraries. The donations will benefit all public libraries in the state, but a threshold must be crossed so the checkoff pays for iteslf. If you pay income tax in Maine, please consider participating!

Here is a wonderful opportunity to share your favorite book or your love of reading:

Applications to be a Book Giver for 2013 are now being taken; if you are chosen, you get to give away free copies of a book you love. I did it last year, and it was a blast! I love getting the opportunity to talk about the book I gave away, The History of Love by Nicole Krauss. Those of you who know me well enough know that I will talk about this book whenever I get an opportunity--i.e., "Hi Kathleen, isn't it a nice day?" "Yes, and that reminds me, what did you think of the ending of The History of Love?" The list of the 2013 books can be found on the World Book Night website; if there's one you feel strongly about, apply for the opportunity to play Santa Claus on April 23!
