Yesterday in my travels around southeast Colorado, I found a jewel of a library. It is nestled snugly in the heart of downtown Aguilar (pop. 593). What makes this library sparkle is Cindy Gongaware, the library director. Cindy had exciting news to report. Her involvement in a Rural USDA grant netted five flat screen computers and five laptops. “The library really picked up after that”, reports Cindy. Her partnership with town officials and her community is what keeps this library alive and vibrant. The city provides housing for the library and all its amenities, while the community generously donates its new/used books for the collection. It’s a wonderful symbiotic – almost love relationship. Happy Valentines Day, everyone!
