It's not every day that a sitting senator pops in to your library without prior notice!

So imagine our surprise and delight when U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders popped in for a quick hello and tour of the building this afternoon. (Our librarian was a little too starstruck to ask for a photo, apologies!)

It was really nice to meet you Senator Sanders! Thanks for stopping in. 😄
