Mayor Ron Jones was recently notified that Garland's Nicholson Memorial Library System has again been selected as one of the best municipal library systems in the state.   I add my congratulations to Director Claire Bausch and her staff for their outstanding service and vision that merits this tremendous acknowledgment, and to the Library Board and the Friends of the Library that deliver constant support for our libraries.
