What a great program idea. This shows that the Phoenixville Library isn't just about books. It really is a great istitution that cares about others. Hopefully Karen Johns reads about this and sees the value of the library and not just the perceived hardship that it causes her. They help relieve the real hardships that others feel. I know they also do a lot to benefit Phoenixville residents by making numerous contributions to PACS.

"The things that sold in Paoli didn't sell in Phoenixville," she said, adding that some customers thought that the store was too expensive or the sizing did not go high enough (size 12 being the highest size sold). "We tried everything." Randels also said that parking was an issue for many of her customers who could either not find spaces or did not feel safe parking behind the store. --- Polka Dots remains open until the 16th, with hours on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. The phone number is 610-935-5914.
