But going for the minimumpayment option "just this one time" turned out to be the worst mistake of my life. The day I opened that door and walked through it, I altered the course of my life. I reasoned that I didn't have enough money to pay the credit card balances in full, so what was I supposed to do (oh, hear me whine)? I'd catch up next month and pay everything down to $0 before my husband found out. All I needed was a little breathing room. And with that, I made a 180-degree turn and headed down the road to financial devastation. What was an option the first time I made only the minimum payments soon became my only choice. I deceived myself into believing even though I didn't have enough money to pay for things now, somehow I'd have enough to pay for them later. I reasoned that these banks and department stores wouldn't lend me this much money if they didn't know that I could afford it. And wasn't that a nice surprise. It took 12 years to ruin my life, home. For the next 10 years, I did exactly putting me in danger of losing my marriage, my family and my that. I never worked so hard in my life. home.

Where has the summer gone? But lingering in the ether are still the July echoes of the voices of our wise founders. Those echoes remind us that freedom and knowledge are ideals we hold close to our hears. Those founders were informed and well-read leaders and reading has been a priority for this country since its beginning. One such leader, Benjamin Franklin is best known in the library community for founding the Library Company of Philadelphia in 1731. This was the first lending library in our country and was the predecessor of the free public library system. The first ever Friend of the Library. Have you joined your local group yet? A bit of news on the side - Los Molinos is working diligently to complete the paperwork for the Los Molinos Friends of the Library 501(c)3 non-profit status. Sue Gallagher and Ruth Fennel have been tireless in ensuring that all the forms are filled out correctly and in a timely manner. The new board led by Ms. Gallagher will have its first meeting on Septe. 24. Later in our country's chronicles a poor, honest boy named Abe Lincoln learned to read. He read by the light of the blaze in his family fireplace if history is to be believed and he read anything he could get his hands on. His family undoubtedly couldn't afford to buy him the books he yearned for so he borrowed from anyone who had books. Most of us can picture Abe trudging through a snowy woods to return the books to their owners. Why can we picture that? Because we read about it when we were kids. We all know young Abraham Lincoln grew up to become our 16th president. You are all aware that as a community we're working together to fund the new library. One of our fund raising projects is the sale of T-shirts. The blue shirt is adorned with a caricature of the beloved Abe Lincoln wearing his famous stove pipe hat (in bright red) under which is the legend "I'm a future leader - I'm a reader." Sizes run from small to extra-large in children's and adult sizes, and are on sale at all three branches. All sales benefit our new library fund. The Reading is so Delicious Summer Reading program is over and the attendance numbers rose each week. The children that participated in the program read 10,177 books. Those are amazing numbers and we are so proud of our little readers! Hooray! As a result of the challenge we gave you to get a library card, that second week of the summer reading program Red Bluff issued 70 new cards, Corning issued 14, and Los Molinos was right up there with 12 new blue cards. Keep the momentum going. Get yourself a free library card if you don't have one and urge a friend to get one too. The summer food drive was a huge success. Over 200 pounds of food was donated by our patrons during the "Reading is so Delicious" program. Thank you so much to our generous patrons that realize the importance of giving to others.
