FOSL Assists Library In upgrading Meeting Room A beautiful new look is in the near future for Smyrna

Library's meeting room. According to library director Mike Seigler, new tables, new chairs, and new accessories, all colorcoordinated, are on their way and will soon be installed. In addition, the Friends of the Smyrna Library has purchased a new, remote-controlled projection screen for this frequently-used space. The expensive new screen is not only easier to operate than a traditional manual pull-down model, it is also made of a better quality reflective material to enhance the view of audience members. Enhancing the room's decor and improving its function with a more efficient screen for audio-visual presentations should make the library's service to its patrons and to the community even more outstanding. The Smyrna Library meeting room is heavily used by civic and business organizations as well as by the library itself and by the Friends of the Smyrna Library. These improvements should be enjoyable and useful additions to the Smyrna Library. We all look forward to the completion of this project. Stay on the lookout for these improvements!

from Wood

Pete and I were married 40 years in October of 2000.

In some ways, it

seems such a short time, but it has really been a trip. In reflecting on those 40 years, I began to look for the constants in our life. One that I found was bed-making. I figure, on average, I have made one bed 14,600 times, give or take a few. It was ajob that needed to be done, no one else volunteered, so I did iI. One thing I've learned abo-ut bed-making is that it puts order in the room and everything else falls into place.

Another constant that I recognize as part of our life has been community service, or volunteerism. It has The Library Link is a quarterly publication of the Friends of the Smyrna Library.

service projects when we met. From USO, to Empty Stocking, to PTA, the church and Little League, we have found that it helped to keep perspective in our lives. Webster defines a volunteer as someone who offers himself for service or duty voluntarily. Some of the most beautiful flowers in the garden are volunteers. They are spontaneous and hearty, growing of their own free will, making a place for themselves among the crowd and adding beauty to those whose lives they touch. This is the way I see the people who make the Friends of the Smyrna Library vibrate in the community. They add spice to the life of the organization because they are there voluntarily. Their service is worth riches and it takes on a life all its own. They are a part of that sterling group of people who recognize that service to humanity is the best work of life. They are always willing to go beyond the call of duty , creating a constant in their lives and in the lives of those they meet. Like Pete and I, they have learne-dthat seivicsTo-th-e community puts life in perspective, and other things fall into place. At our April 19 membership meeting we will honor these people. They are the bed-makers, the organizers, the dishwashers, the telephoners, the "whatevers"-- we appreciate them and know that without them there would be no order in the house of the Friends. Please join us for this most important occasion.

The year 2000 was a good one for the library. Some changes were made to make the library more usable by

all its patrons. These changes may not be readily apparent, so I thought it would be good to point them out to you.

*There was a serious shortage of seating in the evenings. Students would often circle the library looking for a place to study. In order to alleviate this problem, additional study carrels and tables were purchased, increasing the available seating by l8%o. It is now much easier to find work space. xThe Smyrna Library was one of the first public libraries in Georgia to provide public access to the Internet four years ago. Of course, four calendar years are equal to 150 computer years. In 1999 the Library was operating with computers that were relatively slow and using three dial-up connections to access the Internet.

Thanks to the City, the Friends of the Smyrna Library, and Charter Communications, the library was able to upgrade its service significantly. The City and the Friends purchased new computers and laser printers to replace our old models and inkjet printers. Charter Communications provided the library with free highspeed Internet accounts. These combined to provide the public with fast, reliable service and use of the library computers skyrocketed. Of course, it doesn't matter how fast

receive regular distributions of

genealogy materials from the R.J. Taylor Foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to promoting genealogical research and study in Georgia and provides for research and publication of materials that support their goals. These publications are excellent and are tremendous additions to our collection.

I'll leave you with a few statistics from last year: --The library's collection grew to over 100,000 items (103,897). --149,128 items were checked out of the library. --196,392 visits were made to the library. --20,544 reference questions were answered.

Spice Up Your Life

At Smyrna Library

The Children's Corner

By Clare Isanhour

By Tonda Morris

With the holidays over and the new year ahead, the library becomes "report central." Our Juvenile Reference section is a good place to start with your assignment. You will find encyclopedias, biography collections, and many wonderful resources packed with information. Books about famous people can be found in the Juveniie Biography section;just look under the person's last name. We have volumes on each state in the Non-fiction 970's section, explorers are found in the 910's and information about animals is located in the 590-630 sections. One way we try to make finding information easier is by displaying collections of materials. In February, we will have African-American books displayed on top of the reference and biography bookshelves. In March,

we will

showcase books about famous women.

In perusing the shelves on cooking at the Smyrna

Library, I ran across a little book called l0l Essential Tips-Cooking With Spices by Jill Norman. Several recipes caught my eye, which I would like to suggest to you if you would like to check this book out.

Far East Thai shrimp soup with lemongrass Sea bass with star anise Beef curry Chicken satay

India Fruit chat Mixed vegetable curry Aromatic cold chicken Spicy fish stew

Animals will be featured in April. When May rolls around, we will be decorating for our annual Summer Reading Club because school ends in May of this year!

The FOSL book and magazine sale often has National Geographic magazines you can buy to use for your reports. One other source for report information is our children's Internet. You must be fifteen years of age and accompanied by an adult to use it. The Internet is a fun and quick way to locate the facts you need.

-Lt e*//,rul €, 8.Li[ito Mike Roberts (Photography) February and March 2001 Mike Roberts became interested in photography as a child "playing photographer" with an old Brownie box camera. He soon became the family photographer for holidays and special events. He turned professional in the late 1970's when, as a newspaper reporter, he began taking his own photos rather than having staff photographers accompany him. He pleased his editors by freeing a photographer, and pleased himself by earning extra pay. Since then, he has done the photography for his freelance articles; photographed weddings, fashion models, and sporting events; and done portraits.

For the display for the Smyrna Public Library, Mike has combined his interest in history and classic Americana into photos of children that evoke nostalgia for summers long past. The children's clothing, the scenery, the props, and even the black-and-white printing depict an earlier, simpler time. A graduate of Robert L. Osborne High School and the University of Georgia, Mike has resided in Cobb County for 30 years and currently lives with his family in Powder Springs. If you are interested in his work, you may contact him at (770) 943-1306.

Mike Marsh (Lighthouses) February and March 2001 Mike began collecting lighthouse memorabilia in the late 1970's while living on the North Carolina coast. His collection includes over 250 pieces from notable

many

of the lighthouses from the North Carolina Outer Banks to Key West, Florida. Mike also has a collection of over 400 lighthouse postcards. Mike has visited most of the lighthouses he will be displaying. He and his youngest daughter have made annual pilgrimages to explore lighthouses and the surrounding areas for the past few years. photos

Helen McWhorter (Tole Painting) April and May 2001 Helen McWhorter, a member of the Dogwood Chapter of the Society of Decorative Painters, will be exhibiting her own creations and works by other members of this local chapter.

Make a Will To Insure Your Wishes Are Met By Becky Landers Experience has taught me that everyone should have a will.

Several years ago, a dear friend passed away unexpectedly, without a will and without any immediate family. The first thing was to find some distant relatives, since whatever he might have wanted to do with his assets was out of the question. Nothing for friends. Nothing for charity. No scholarships. Either the state or distant family would be the beneficiaries. After a lot of hard work by a genealogist, nearly 30 first cousins were located. Most of them had never heard of my friend until a stranger called them out of the blue and told them they would inherit a share. Although the people turned out to be quite nice, they were not people my friend ever was in touch with; in most cases, they were not people he ever even knew existed.

If my friend had ever made a will, he could have decided for himself what he wanted done with his assets. Think of the scholarships and charities that could have benefited! Instead, the law gave his assets to strangers; and if they hadn't been found, the law would have given everything to the state. Even if you think your assets are few, they are yours, and you should decide what to do with them. There may be other important questions, too, such as who should care for your children. Decide this yourself! Signing a will does not mean you are ready to depart immediately; it just means you've decided these important questions for yourself. Making a will need not be difficult. Use the Smyrna Library reference section and refer to the Link articleby Jo Perkinson (Spring, 1998) for tips. Some simplewills canbe done with fill-in+he blank forms, and that is better than nothing. For most wills, you should see a lawyer. Fees are usually proportional to the complexity of the will and to the amount of time spent, but need not be expensive compared to the peace of mind that comes from knowing your final wishes will be honored. Do it today! The Library

Terrific Tarifa: A Unique Site By Lisa Frqnk

The windows on the rickety, faded green bus were open and doing little to cool the humid air circulating around the passengers. Winding dirt roads made the path for the bus down to the lapping shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Suddenly, a sinall town became visible in the distance. The road seemed to stop in this town called Tarifa, the southernmost town in Spain. It is the last stop before the Strait of Gibraltar and the North Afucan coast line, and boasts a diverse culture one would only find in a sprawling metropolis. The famed Rock of Gibraltar, just around the corner lrom Tarifa, is still an English territory, although it is mostly inhabited by chattering monkeys. This area is populated by Africans, Spaniards, Arabs, British, and Americans, just to name a few. Open-air cafes boast food as diverse as the cultures. Because of its gr'ographical locatiorr. Tarifa is one of the most popular spots in the world for wind surfing. Every summer, professionals and amateurs alike descend on this small town to catch an exciting ride on the waves where the Mediterranean Sea flirts with the Atlantic Ocean. The bus dropped off the passengers at the top of the only road that runs the length of the town. stopping just short of the waves of the Strait of Gibraltar. The slope down the mile-long uneven road was steep; homes and buildings were seemingly attached to each other for support. A group of 27 students, bearing backpacks stuffed with tee-shirts, shorts, and sun screen, navigated through the quiet street to the water. They took off their shoes and flip-flop when they reached the powdery white sand. The blue-green of the water was indescribable to family and friends at home. The emerald green hues seemed to meld with the blue of periwinkles, and, in patches, these colors seemed to dance with each other. To the right of the cove, a Moorish watchtower stood sentinel for invasions long gone. The stone edifice seemed still to guard the tiny torvn. The students squealed and splashed as their feet were immersed in the almost magical fusion of the Itrediterranean Sea ancl the Atlantic Ocean.

Slowly, one by one, they stopped and stared. The silence was almost visible. Hands went to shadow the glare of the sun as the young adults looked to the horizon. In the distance, possible five miles, was the North African coast line. It seemed to be a stone's throw away, and many realized they were on one continent looking at another. Some of them quietly noted the combined simplicity and complexity of faraway lands and enchanting places. For more information on Tarifa and the other beautiful towns of Spain, visit the Smyrna Library.

...another mAn' s treasure by Melinda

L. Wilson, ISA CAPP

Pewter Most people don't think much of pewter today, but one must remember the importance it played in everyday life prior to the late 19ft century. What is pewter? Pewter is an alloy comprised mainly of tin. The parts break down to approximately 957o tin, IVo c opper, 2Vo lead and 2Vo antimony (or ZVo anti mony an d 27o bismuth). In America, the Northeast had the largest group of

pewter craftsmen. Approximately 500 of these craftsmen were known and had most probably immigrated to America from England. As the population of the continent grew, many of them moved south to accommodate the new settlers. Most were located in cities due to the fact of supply and demand. Since they had to meet the needs of a variety of wares, pewter was cast in a mold of brass orbronze which was very expensive at the time. They learned how to take a mold and use parts of it to create other pieces. An example would be the body of a teapot, which could also be the body of the sugar bowl and creamer. By doing this, they could offer a full range of pieces without having the expense of buying separate molds. In English cities, there were guilds that controlled the production and quality of the pewter. The American craftsmen had no guilds but marked most of their pewter pieces. The character of the marks generally follows along the English style. In England, they were required to use their names or initials on all pieces. Sometimes they went further by adding "Superfine Hard Metal." In order to compete with the English market the American craftsmen would put their name or initials on the pieces and sometimes included the word "London" or "From Old England." After the Revolutionary War, they changed the above to "Liberty" or an American Eagle. At the end of the 18m century, competition from the silver-plated wares and ceramics began to grow because they were attractive and inexpensive and more readily available than in earlier times. Pewter makers then

added more antimony to make the pewter shiny and appear more like silver. They called this stronger metal Britannia. But the decline in pewter's popularity continued, and eventually it gave way to electroplating. How does one distinguish between "good," "better," and "best," among types of pewter? This is generally subjective and depends on the fashion ofthe collector. But to make it simple, there are certain criteria a collector should follow. The most important of these are proportions, clarity of outline, vigor of ornament and the success with which the ornament is integrated into the form of the object. Today, pewter is one of the hottest collectibles in the market. I continually find pieces in homes where the owner doesn't really care for the piece and has no knowledge of its origin. It's usually dirty and put up in some dark place. When I tell them to clean it up, look for the maker's mark, and then go to the library and research, they begin to take an interest. I bet you've [51 some sitting around as well. If things have been passed down in the family you might want to take a closer look because you may have "...another man's treasure." Happy Hunting!
