Signboard Sayings by Ed Olsho

For many, many years, Ed Olsho has organized the letters on the illuminated Library sign board on Church Road. Many of his sayings are very creative. Ed wrote a book about them so that other Friends groups could stimulate interest in the use of their local libraries. He had to fit the words into 38 characters — the limit of the sign.

Here are some samples:
