I am thankful for laughter.....

"I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose."
~ Woody Allen


Celebrate laughter during Teen Read Week, Oct 14 - 20th

This year's theme is Laugh Out Loud @Your Library

Miss Fran and I will be at Autumn in the Park, Thursday night with a Laugh Out Loud Trivia Game. Please stop by and play - you could win a free doughnut from Dunkin! We will be outside of Saiff Drugs.
