*         Libraries showcased in this week's edition of the Social Library<http://www.webjunction.org/search-results.html?q=%22The+Social+Library%22&rfilter=allfilter> are finding different ways for community members to give back. From a library garden who donates produce to a local food bank, to another who hosts an "Adopt-A-Book" fundraiser, these libraries are creating meaningful connections that have an impact. Also featured is a library who recognizes this year's Top Borrower, leveraging local press to bring the library story to life through this patron's special story.
