On behalf of the Friends of the Oxford Lane Library, I want to send a huge thank-you to the Talawanda Boys' Soccer Team and coaches for their help with getting items from storage and to the library for our mega book sale.

The boys and their coaches were ready and at the locker before8:30 a.m. on Wednesday. They helped us empty out the completely filled locker, and then continued their assistance at the library, unloading and carrying into the library the boxes from our vehicles.


All was going smoothly to that point, until the library's elevator broke down. The book sale is held in the library's meeting room on the second floor, which meant that all the boxes had to be somehow taken up two flights of stairs.
The boys and their coaches rose to the occasion, forming a "book brigade" up the stairs. They didn't quit until the hundreds and hundreds of boxes were upstairs and ready for us to unpack and sort for the sale.


We can't say enough about how grateful we are for their help, their willingness to assist, their positive attitude even when what should have been a one hour job turned into a several hour strenuous effort. They went above and beyond what was asked and expected. We are so impressed with this group of young men and their coaches. They are outstanding representatives of Talawanda.
