What's Happening in the Library

Thanks to feedback from our Community
Meeting two weeks ago, we will be getting back to our co-working and accountability sessions. Please go to this survey and help choose what we should call the meetings and what time we should meet.
The Co-working sessions are a chance to work quietly on our businesses.

Quotes I'm Thinking About This Week:

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."

Ann Frank

Holocaust Remembrance Day was this week. I have had the honor of visiting the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, and touring a museum dedicated to the Holocaust in Cologne, Germany. While I will never forget the overwhelming despair I felt seeing what happened and how human beings
treated one another, I was also touched and heartened by the small acts of kindness recorded. These small acts give me great hope, and they will improve our world.

I hope you have a great week!
