Happy New Year from the Library System!

December 30, 2020

Words of Advice from Neil Gaiman

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.

So that’s my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, Do it.

Make your mistakes, next year and forever.”

2020 was a year of trying new things for all of us. At the Lackawanna County Library System, we will continue to offer new things that serve you and your family as together we face the continuing challenges brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.

And we thank you for your continuing support and encouragement.
