TAVERN DAY - SEPTEMBER 13, 2009

I want to thank everyone who helped out at Tavern Day. It was a great success! And what a beautiful day! We sold about $105 in books including a Burlington Book, and a Book Lover ornament. Hordes of people came through the Little Red Schoolhouse and stopped by to say hello. Geralyn Kysar was a hit with sack races, balloon animals, jump rope, etc.

In particular, I would like to thank Anne Walluk and Nancy Winter for helping me arrange the day, Craig Winter for helping me load and unload TWICE! Len Berton, Pat Small, Denise Murphy, Sandy Mazeau, Elaine Eberhard, Alice Taricani and Trudy Coleman for helping at the table. Thanks to Jenny Mantel and Sheila McCallum for helping at the desk and putting all the book sale books back on the carts, and Elaine Eberhard for boxing up all the book sale materials for the day.

I think being at Tavern Day was important not because of the money, but because we were a presence in the community.

Thanks, 
Marie Spratlin Hasskarl
Director, Burlington Library
