Thoughts to Ponder – A Lesson in Love and Joy
By Jenny Chissus
This November 4th, I had the honor to sit with my brother Peter – the father of the bride – at Chelsea’s wedding reception. To understand the real significance of that, here’s a little history.
My brother was diagnosed with ALS – also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease in September 2009, after a year of wondering what was going on with his speech. He was having a difficult time formulating words, and at first, his speech resembled someone who had too much to drink.
Before we knew his diagnosis, I remember one conversation we had on the phone when we were struggling to communicate, and I felt bad that I couldn’t understand his words. Peter kept saying “Jenny, this isn’t so bad, so my speech is slurred a bit, I have friends with serious diseases, cancer or other horrible things. It isn’t so bad, it is still me, I just talk funny!”
Peter has always had such a great outlook and positive attitude that is contagious. He is and always been a light when he entered a room. Even with this awkward speech situation, he was still upbeat and an encourager to others. Continue Reading

Thank You, We're Dazzled!
by Savannah Lewis – Library Director
A thank-you note to the library’s anonymous benefactor(s)
We are speechless with surprise and gratitude to have been the recipient over the past month of 83 new books. They were purchased from our Amazon wishlist and so represent books we were especially anxious to obtain for our collection.
Dear donor(s), even though you remain anonymous, please know that the board and library volunteers join me in thanking you for your generosity on behalf of our patrons who will receive so much pleasure from these books. We operate on a very small annual budget, and gifts such as these greatly expand our ability to offer new and enticing titles.
So, thank you. We’re dazzled.

Getting Ready For Tax Season
by Savannah Lewis, Library Director – Seldovia Public Library
It’s about that time of year, again, for us to post our tax resources tips. We did that last year, and what we wrote then is still accurate.
But to make it a little more convenient for you to use this information at the library, we’ve also included a link to these same resources on the link directory page that automatically opens when you use the internet on our public library computers (just look under “Government”).
As always, we don’t provide forms here at the library. You’re always welcome to print out what you need from the IRS website (that’s one of the links), but we do charge 10 cents a page for all pages printed. Yes, we agree that this sort of adds insult to injury, but it’s simply not possible for our very limited budget to provide printer ink ($150 a cartridge!) and paper for free.
