REMEMBERING GRACE KORZUN
It was a great honor and pleasure to have known GRACE KORZUN as a Library Trustee in the early days —- before the renovation, when the Ben Perry Room was still the old Cuttingsville School woodshed; before the bathroom; before the Meeting Room —- when we were just getting started as a community resource for Shrewsbury. Grace’s helpfulness, her wisdom, good humor, and common sense were invaluable guides.
As a neighbor and friend, she was the best: kind, tactful, quietly present, and also fun to be around. I remember most her bright wit and her smile; I loved seeing her working in her garden. Her flowers seemed especially beautiful this year; she was still tending to them only a few weeks before she died. Along with many others, I miss her, and send condolences to her children and their families.

*** MANY THANKS to all who made the weeks’ long, honor-system Book Sale a success: everyone who donated books, DVDs, and CDs; everyone who put them out for display and packed them up for DiscoverBooks afterwards; and everyone who stopped by and bought something. Special thanks to DONNA (as always for her guidance), to NEAL SHARROW (for being there with his forklift!), and to DICK, LUISA, FRED, DAPHNE, and BOB —-
and anyone I’ve missed —- for filling those Gaylords!
*** A loud THANKS tis also due to the faithful trustees and volunteers who are keeping the Library open during our regular hours(above)! Although we’re not open for in-person programs, holiday events and fund-raisers, we’re still here with books, DVDs, and public computers for your information and entertainment.
