Finally the deed is done and the Minneapolis and Hennepin County Library Systems have merged into one. This has been a wonderful event for our family as our neighborhood library reopened Thursday, January 3rd. We had gone an entire year with our favorite neighborhood destination cold and dark and what a sad situation that was. What with two children that had loved getting over there and two adults who adored our Roosevelt Library as well. We had been among the last to leave when it closed and we were the first family bustling in the door when it reopened. The entire day felt like a celebration of sorts. Our daughter was captured in this photo in the Star Tribune as she explored a new book.

That is so great! I saw your daughter's picture in the paper, but did not make the connection . . . it was a great story, and she got a t-shirt for being fist through the door, right? What lucky kids to have parents who spend a day celebrating the reopening of a library. I may be feeling sentimental, but it almost brings tears to my eyes :)
