Libraries are More Popular than Cupcakes!

There's a lot of buzz around the web about the next big thing:  libraries!  Long known for being secretly hip and cool, libraries are finally getting their just due.  Being smart and sharing your knowledge is the way to go.  Hats off to libraries and their staff, especially, of course, to the folks at 115 Norcross Street (the Roswell Library).  They rock!  Click here to read an NPR story about the ever-rising popularity of libraries.
