We're Going Green Anyway!

You're going to get tired of me talking about "Spring." It seems like it's never going to come. I really look forward to things greening up all around me, but lately, even here in South Georgia, we're still doing a winter-thing.
So, we're doing green here in our library.
Our displays in February were all red. But when you come into the library during March, you're going to see all green. Yep, that's right.
You can't imagine what kind of green things we have in the lighted display cases as you come up the steps to the main foyer. We have beads and frogs, cut glassware and books, sea glass and a bunch of tiny green cars (like those my youngest son used to carry around in his little straw hat when he was about three years old).
The foyer table has a multitude of green-covered books. Our sign warns you: "Look for Our Green," and we have lots of it showing.
The bookcase next to the circulation counter is all about "Reading for Your Spring Pleasure," a nice mixture of green-covered books, which include not only hot fiction but mysteries.
Of course, I keep trying to invite Spring to visit us. One way to help you feel like it's really coming is to give you a table full of gardening books. Look for the books not only about growing things in your yard, but also in containers. These books are located on the table as you enter the
reading area.
And the table we save to show children's books...well, we've filled that with all kinds of books with green covers also. Even "Kids Love Green," says our sign on the wall at the table.
We'll keep changing these green books for you to keep your interest up.
So, if the outdoors isn't green enough for those of you just waiting patiently for Spring, come indoors. Come visit the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library and "Look for Our Green."
