Director's Corner
 Last year at this time, though in many ways it feels like a week ago, I was writing to say "Thank you!" to all the contributors who made the new library addition (and green roof) here at IVPL possible. It was a wonder addition to the nonfiction area. This year, I'm happy to say "Thank you!" to almost 900 contributors who have donated $60,000 to our Annual Appeal thus far.
