Sad to report the passing of John William "Bill" Barnhart of Newport. He had been a fellow member of Bob's club . . . June was not a good month for sales despite our discount offer. But with the economy unstable and job security at a low point I can understand why everyone (including me) is reluctant to spend . . . It looks like the Commonwealth will have a budget on time or almost. Unfortunately, one of the big "losers" is our library system. Historically usage of libraries soars during recessionary times, so why do legislators always find these institutions such an easy mark when it comes to restricting funds? Their mindset is mind boggling . . . Just received a new shipment of greeting cards from Laughing Elephant and Green Tiger Press. They draw their images from old-time book and magazine illustrations and are quite charming. The one shown says Here's a hug for you . . .
