Leaburg Library Website Photo of Leaburg Library A BRIEF HISTORY OF LEABURG LIBRARY The Leaburg Library was established in the spring of 1984 and has been providing continuous library service for local residents since then. There had been several attempts to have a library in the old schoolhouse building but none was successful until Ruth Mills and Rita Stadel took over the project in the fall of 1983. It began as an all-volunteer, free library, stocked with donated books on donated bookshelves, with basic maintenance work provided by members...
SHELFNOTES FROM LEABURG LIBRARY JANUARY 2012 Book Shelf image With every brand new year come the mandatory “Resolutions” lists which most of us abandon after a few weeks of half-hearted effort! Here’s one resolution that I hope many of you will keep: Read more books! We try to make it easy for you by showcasing the best that we have, such as the New York Times Best Sellers display; and for children, the What’s New At The Library display in the Children’s Room. Donations keep showing up and many of them are nearly new, hot off the top ten list....
SHELFNOTES FROM LEABURG LIBRARY FEBRUARY 2012 Book Shelf image There are three matters of library business to mention before I get into the meat of this month’s article.

The third item concerns a vacuum cleaner that has gone missing. We had it for years, bu...
SHELFNOTES FROM LEABURG LIBRARY MAY 2012 Book Shelf image My column will be a bit different this month because the husband of a friend of mine has died and I must write about it. My friend, Dee Anderson, was the soul of Leaburg Library for more than twenty years, seventeen of those as its director. Her husband Loren was her soul mate for more than fifty years, and they were a marvelous pair. Whatever needed to be done at the library was usually done by Dee with Loren close behind; hauling trash, transporting boxes of discarded books to other lo...
SHELFNOTES FROM LEABURG LIBRARY SEPTEMBER 2012 Book Shelf image There is a beautiful picture book in the Children’s Room called “The Hello-Goodbye Window”. It won the coveted Caldecott Medal in 2006, for its delightful illustrations. It tells the story of a little girl who frequently visits her grandparents whom she loves very much. She sees them in the window as she arrives and again as she is leaving, happy at the beginning and sad at the end. It’s a perfect way to describe our feelings about two of the library’s dearest friends. Larry McM...
