Don't count the hours in the day. Make the hours in the day count.

"All children need a laptop. Not a computer, but a human laptop. Moms, Dads, Grannies and Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles - someone to hold them, read to them, teach them. Loved ones who will embrace them and pass on the experience, rituals and knowledge of a hundred previous generations. Loved ones who will pass to the next gneration their expectations of them, their hopes, and their dreams." - General Colin L. Powell

My Little Firefighter

Recently, the Florence library had a special story time. They invited the local fire department to come and talk to the kids. They learned about firesafety. They got to see a firefighter dressed up in all his gear. They gave all the kids their own fire hat.


And the best part for the kids, they got to tour a real live fire truck. Andrew had such a fantastic time and it has inspired him to be a firefighter for Halloween.

For a little boy, this was a dream come true!
