Our happiest holiday wishes to all!
...from the Board and Staff of South Holland Public Library. Thank you for your patronage and for making 2011, our 50th anniversary, one of our most successful years! Many of you wrote letters in support of libraries and kept us from losing services funded by the state. You also graciously participated in our programs and surveys to let us know what you want in your library. Early in 2012 we will have a new five year Strategic Plan which we believe will guide us into a bright future. 2012 is going to be another great year! We look forward to serving you, and hope the New Year brings you plenty of good books, and lots of time to read (or listen) to them!
Have the merriest of Christmases, the brightest of Hanukkahs, the best Kwanzaa – however you celebrate the holiday season, we wish you health, joy, peace and plenty. Meg Klinkow Hartmann
