A Note From Nancy

Happy March! It’s a month filled with so much variety. Collegiate basketball tournaments galore that create a little madness for many fans. St. Patrick’s Day when we claim a bit of Irish blood and hope to gain a bit of luck. For many the Lenten season begins and serves as a time to help release those things that hinder our ability to love and care for others. Best of all? Especially after this brutal winter? March holds the first day of Spring! Can I get a loud Yahoo!

Longer days. More sunshine. Daffodils and crocuses emerge to remind us that no winter lasts forever.

Someone once said, “March is the best time to start again, because if the spring can do it, why can’t you?”

Is this your time to start again? Find a book or two that can help you pick up the tools you need to start living the life you imagine. Feeling lonely? Join us for one of our many activities to meet your neighbors. Come in and learn how to use your phone and other devices that can help you connect with scattered family and friends. Want to jump start your career? Want to improve your relationships with family, friends, and strangers? Come on in and see what kinds of tools we can help you find.

The philosopher Seneca said that “luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” Take some time this month to prepare so when opportunity arises you can seize the moment to live the life you imagine.

Spring had to wait a long time for the right time. But now she’s ready to burst open. Her time is now. Your time is now. Believe in possibilities. Prepare to meet opportunity. Then get ready to share all the goodness, kindness, creativity, laughter, and beauty you have to offer.

Here’s to new beginnings. And as always, thanks for your ongoing support of the Andover Public Library.

Sincerely

Nancy Logan, Director
