A Very Merry Mandel

'Twas the season of reading down here in the south,

in the Mandel Public Library where patrons hangout.

They learn, create and browse bookish displays,

sometimes even finding festive movies to play.

And when they're done reading and roaming the stacks,

they head to checkout with library cards ready for staff!

Help spread the joy of owning a library card this season — remind your friends and family to sign-up today. If they sign-up in person, they will also get a voucher for a FREE coffee or hot chocolate from Salento Coffee Shop to welcome them!
