I am an Indian visiting USA at regular intervals and each time, I visit, my most preferred place is a public library. During my last two visits in 2008 and 2011, I made extensive use of Iselin and Woodbridge Public Libraries where I was encouraged to make a gift of some of the books authored by me besides relishing a large number of publications (of course through the library membership of my daughter Dr. Anshumita Cabra). I have a deep adoration for the US Public Libraries.

I enjoyed reading about the Plainsboro Library in the June 27 issue of WWP News. I have visited this library already a couple of times. A smaller but well laid out and efficiently managed library with various readership services. My association remains through my daughter and son-in-law. I am happy to learn that this unit is celebrating its Golden Jubilee rising to a fine center of refinement from its humble beginning as "a four-woman best-seller book swap". Great missions always flourish and I hope this library shall become a landmark of the county area. The experience of asking for books that are not physically available in the library (many aren't that I would like to read) has not been disappointing! I must admit that I felt it was my happy duty to record my appreciation for the library after reading your report in THE NEWS.
