Odd request of the month

In this morning's e-mail:

Dear Mr. Johnson,

My name is Timothy Maloney and I am writing in the hopes that you will assist me in building my collection. I have been collecting library cards for a few years now. Perhaps an inactive card as I do not need borrowing privileges. To date I have been issued cards by nearly 2200 libraries in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the Ak-Chin Indian Community. Plus more than 35 countries. Originally, my desire was to visit each library, but this has proven unfeasible financially and due to my shoulder surgery. 

 

I am a big proponent of books and libraries and visit local libraries several times each week. The 2014 Summer Reading program kicked off on  June 1st and I completed at least eight logs before the program ended.  I share this to convey my deep respect and appreciation for libraries.

 

The collection has been displayed at various public libraries in northern Kentucky and at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio.  From late February through mid-April the Clermont County (OH) Public Library will be showing the cards in four of their branches.

 

If you can fulfill my request please send a card to me:

Timothy Maloney
602 E. Shelby St.
Falmouth, KY 41040 USA

 

Thank you very much for taking time from your busy schedule to consider my humble request.

Sincerely,

Tim

Reading Builds Strong Minds

Got a spare library card around you can mail to Tim? Heaven knows libraries need all the supporters they can find!
