It is with profound sadness that we mourn the death of our fellow FOL Board Member, Mary Campbell. It is hard to imagine our meetings without her elegance, humor and willingness to lend a hand whenever we needed help for an event or project. She was a longtime and dedicated member of our group and we will miss her.

The Library in People’s Lives: OlyBabies

From the packet this month:
Olybabies promotes Book Babies program at Olympia!
We have a large and dedicated group attending our Book Babies program at Olympia. Little did we know that some of these parents were using technology to network and support each other as parents of young babies! We were surprised that on their own they were advertising our Book Babies program on their site. The site is called Olybabies: a gathering space for mamas and papas of OlyBabies. Parents of young children can often feel isolated, but new social networking software can ease those transitions. Check out Olybabies: a gathering space for mamas and papas of OlyBabies: http://olybabies.ning.com/.
