Quick response to my request and personalized service

Friends:

Recently, I suggested to a number of public libraries in the area that they purchaase Sergei Rachmaninoff's "His Complete Recordings". The only library that responded was Mount Lebanon, and you did so quickly, advising that you would purchase the CD set.

You kindly notified me when this item had come in, and held it for me at the front desk. I borrowed the set and wanted you to know how thoroughly I have enjoyed it, and how grateful I am to you for your action and the fine, personalized service you provided to me in enabling me to enjoy this item.

At a depressing time when the Academy Awards honors a recording titled, "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp", it is a great comfort to be able to enjoy outstanding classical music from one of the greatest pianists that ever lived.

I have written a number of letters to the editor advocating more funding for libraries, pointing out the twisted priority of providing reliable funding for sports while libraries must beg for their dwindling piece of the pie each year. I shall continue to avocate for wonderful organizations which enrich our culture, like the Mount Lebanon Public Library.

Thank you, thank you!
