Welcome to Byte Club!
by richretyi
Byte Club is for AADL SUPER FANS and library people like you! You love AADL and probably share your enthusiasm for the Library all the time. You play the Summer Game, you know how to freeze a request, you've been to our festivals and expos, and you get excited when our new brochures come out. You've been known to grab the Observer as soon as it arrives, flip to the calendar, and circle all the Library events you're excited to attend.

Byte Club: December!
December 21 marks the start of winter and the longest night of the year. This is fantastic news for night owls, Draculas, and people who pump their fists in excitement when the sun sets at 4:37 pm. For those who love that big glowing thing in the sky that keeps everything warm, this time of year can be a less positive prospect.
