The Susquehanna County Historical Society & Free Library Association held a Legislative Breakfast on Friday, September 17th, 2004. "We invited our legislators, school administrators, and school board presidents," said Administrator/Librarian Susan Stone, "to familiarize them with our building and services, and to thank them for their support." After enjoying a buffet of home-made baked goods, about thirty people sat down at tables in the Children's Room. Attendees were greeted by Board President Cornelia Page, and heard from a representative sampling of users, from a StoryHour mother to a young man who's used the computer facilities for his education. A packet of information covered the many services and programs available through the Library and Historical Society, and fun "quiz questions" based on the contents were interspersed between the presenters. Mrs. Stone thanked everyone for coming and encouraged anyone who had time to tour the building. Before leaving, the legislators were presented with large thank-you cards, signed by patrons over the past month, to acknowledge the increase in state funding for libraries this fiscal year (which still represents a cut of 23% over past years, but a much better outcome than the 50% which was originally threatened.) "We hope to make this an annual event," said Mrs. Stone, "to nurture the good relationships we've developed with Susquehanna County decision-makers."
