Happy National Library Week!
Wonderful to reconnect with Linda and Glenn Goecke, whom I wrote about in 2023, when they finished visiting all 41 @hclib locations. As a result of their adventures, the library now has a passport that you can pick up (free!) to get stamped when you visit https://t.co/DjeDKvsVRZ
