Amish Country

This summer I performed my practicum at the Delphi Public Library. This library serves a large religious population as there are Amish, Mennonite, and German Baptists among the community. The community has a respect for this culture and it is evident in the library's collection. There is a very good religious fiction section that many partake of whether they are among the religious community or secular. This respect filtered into the book club as one of the chosen books was Mennonite in the Little Black Dress. I enjoyed my practicum immensely and pray that everyone's experience is as wonderful as mine was.

  1. About a year ago my uncle and I visited with some very nice Amish folks in Geneva, Indiana. Your picture and sound are a good match.
