(l to r): Susan Stone, Max Brewer, children's librarian Karen Braker-Reed

Max Brewer is an avid reader and library user. He's also an author/illustrator whose book, Mr. Toad and Mrs. Toad, won first prize in the Write and Illustrate Your Own Picture Book Contest. For his tenth birthday, he decided to do something special--instead of gifts, he asked his friends to make donations to the Susquehanna County Library. Max raised $250 to benefit the Library Building Fund. "We are delighted with Max's generosity!" says Susan Stone, Administrator/Librarian. "It's especially heartwarming and inspiring to see a child be so community-oriented and supportive of the need for a new headquarters," added Mrs. Stone. Please join us in thanking Max and wishing him a happy tenth birthday!
