Berne Library Notes for Wednesday, February 8, 2023
Just then Marshall rushed in waving The Enterprise over his head and calling out for Sally. “Sally? I’ve got news to share.”
“Oh, hi Marshall. What’s going on?” Sally answered as she looked up from reading her new Berne library book, “The Future of Fungi — How Fungi Can Feed Us, Heal Us, Free Us and Save Our World,” by Michael Lim and Yun Shu. Sally’s been researching the power of mushrooms for over a year now.
Marshall spilled into the room, flopping on the couch and sharing his excitement.
“The new exhibit is up in the community room featuring entries from the Friends photo contest. We can swing by through the end of February and vote on our favorite photos. When do you want to go? How about tomorrow?”
“We won’t be able to go tomorrow but how about Monday as a pre-Valentine’s Day outing?” Sally offered.
“OK, Sally. You got yourself a date. And then maybe we could do movie night at the library on the 17th?”
“That sounds like a plan, Marshall. Let’s add it to the calendar now and seal the deal.”
Marshall gave Sally a big hug and a peck on the cheek. “Looking forward to viewing the photos and the movie with you, Sal.”
And with that, they settled down for a nice warm spot of tea.
