Moss Memorial Library

 Great things are happening at Moss Memorial Library in Hayesville, North Carolina.  Branch Manager, Griff Anderson, has been so kind to allow the North Carolina Writer's Network-West to meet in the conference room for poetry readings and critique groups.

The first thing that amazed me about the updates at Moss Memorial Library, was the instillation of automatic sliding doors.  How awesome!  What a great thing for folks with disabilities.

Another improvement was the beautiful large windows to view the Tusquitte Mountains and the lovely scenery of our town.

But what excited me most was... 

I could hardly believe it when I noticed Mr. Ben Love, the library assistant, today making an owl on the 3 D  printer!  We have really arrived in Hayesville to have a "Science  Fiction" 3 D printer.  I've seen those on documentaries, read about them, but we actually have one at Moss Memorial Library.  Ben said the public may use it to print files if they will contact the library.

Great things are happening at Moss Memorial Library.  As the clique goes, "We've come a long way, baby!"  I  recall years ago our small library was housed in the damp, musty, old red courthouse.  It was a small collection of books, but served our community well.  I recall  Mama brought my siblings and me to town every Saturday to check out arm full of books.  That's when I savored all the "Little House on the Prairie" books.

When you see the staff at Moss Memorial Library, you might want to thank them for doing such a splendid job serving our community and our writers.
