  It's a new year and I'm happy to be able to see all my friends again at the library.  I hope everyone had a nice holiday and has settled back into their routine.  Speaking of routine – has everyone made their resolutions for 2012?  Why not make a resolution to take advantage of all the free programs we offer for children, teens and adults?  There are some extra-special story hour programs coming up in the next couple of months.0
