And of course, I am SO proud of our town for reading over 50,000 minutes over 6 weeks! This means that the Norfolk Public Library, by way of a generous donation made by the Friends of the Library, is now the proud owner of an adopted acre of land in the Appalachians! It was so cool to see everyone work together toward this common goal for the better of the environment.
