Julie Chautin is a volunteer with Friends of Murphy Library, and when she emailed me to say that she had a new blog for their organization, I knew I just had to create a group here.
Her excellent blog -- don't miss it! -- is syndicated here on the group, but you don't want to miss the photos on her blog that don't show here.
Anyone who is interested in helping the Murphy Library is welcome to join this group on Murphy Connections, but please be aware that it is not the official group for Friends of Murphy Library. However, all their members are welcome to join us here and please feel free to discuss anything related to Friends of Murphy Library here.
All the best,
JD
