Here comes March!

     Who would have ever thought that February would fly by so fast!  We're right here at the end of it and here comes March!  It begins next week...the coming of the green and March winds, and something about lions and lambs.
     March also means it's time for our DR. SEUSS PARTY, an annual happening at the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library.
     On Tuesday, March 1st, your whole family is invited to see "Dr. Seuss & Josie."  Josie is a professional storyteller who brings any story to life!  The event will be held in the Children's Library 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. with refreshments provided by the Moultrie Junior Woman's Club.
    So...follow me and you will see, the library is fun for you and me!
    Of course, that's not all going on in March at our library.  We still have every Tuesday filled with people who want to get their taxes prepared by the AARP Tax Aide group.  And believe me, last Tuesday the auditorium was packed!  Preparation begins with a sign-in at the door at 9:30 a.m. and they try to finish around 4 or 4:30 p.m. 
     For two Tuesdays in February, Colquitt Regional Medical Center's Robin Tillman, R.N., the Corporate Health Nurse, took free blood pressure screenings.  About 40 people were able to find out how their blood pressure was either before or after seeing about their taxes.  There were chuckles throughout the auditorium when the announcement was made to be sure and have your blood pressure checked.
     We're also going to have a staff event called "Our Green Thing" on March 17th, which everyone knows is St. Patrick's Day.  We're going to be "wearing the green" and bringing snacks for the staff to graze on from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.  That's often easier than trying to find a way and time to get everyone together at one time.  After all, someone always has to "man" the fort.
     On Saturday, March 26th, the library will host a grant-writing class by Arden Williams, the Program Director for the Georgia Humanities Council in Atlanta.  Publicity is on the way out the door right now as we speak.  Those of you in the vicinity of the library may want to join us for the event.  Watch for more information right here on our website.
     By the way, those of us here in this part of Georgia are seeing the lovely blossoms of Japanese magnolias, Lady Banks roses, flowering quince, daffodils, tulips, and blossoming red bud trees.  And the birds!  Well, the birds have just gone crazy! 
     Yep, here comes March!
