Tell Me Something Good - Town Gifted First Library

There's a radio segment on a popular morning radio show called "Tell Me Something Good" where the hosts take turns sharing good news they've heard about recently. This morning, I came across a news article that instantly made the theme song for that segment pop into my head, and that inspired a potential regular blog post for this blog.

The article from CBS News is about Frontenac, Kansas, a small town that did not have a library. Until 2019, when the town learned that they were the beneficiaries of a $4.6 million trust left to the town for them to create a library.

What's something good happening in your library?
