Building a Community
Today, I had the pleasure of snapping some pictures of the groundbreaking ceremony for the Crozet library. I expected to have some fun spending much missed time with the camera, and to see a few familiar faces. I did not expect it to, in so many ways, embody all the things I love about where I live.
As background for those of you non-Crozetians, the library is currently housed in this teeny tiny former train station.
Though it is a charming building, it has nowhere near the capacity to serve as a library for Crozet and Western Albemarle.
The ceremony was perfect, the weather was perfect, and the community support which has helped drive this process was apparent.

The good folks from Mudhouse were pouring coffee.
We love Starr Hill.
