See page 3 5 for photos taken at the party.

She also donated several plants for both inside and outside the library. Super-photographer Michael Gottlieb lent a small selection of wildlife photos prelude to a much larger exhibit planned for the latter part of the season. He also took all photos used in this newsletter, bless his soul.
