A rose garden centerpieces the entrance to the busy community hub known as the Selma-Dallas County Public Library. Behind the brick wall is a courtyard with benches and a fountain. Inside are comfortable chairs for readers, computers for Internet research, a genealogy and regional history room, puppet show theater, conference rooms and, oh yes, lots of shelves filled with books! Among my favorite events is the periodic Lunch at the Library, which is an informal meeting and presentation with authors.
