Flat Five says that this was a wonderful library visit on her worldwide library critters tour.  APPL has a fantastic facility, with top-drawer collections, a tremendously friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff, and some fabulous mountain vistas.  Plus, of course, there is Porter, who is quite world-famous, as you can see here.  If you happen to be traveling to Gatlinburg, be sure to drop by to visit Porter and his library colleagues.  They will welcome you and show you what's what.

Thanks For Hosting Flat Five, Porter & APPL Staff,

P.S.  "Smoky Mountain Rain," recorded most famously by Ronnie Milsap (1980), became the eighth official state song of Tennessee on June 3, 2010, by joint resolution of the Tennessee General Assembly.

Flat Five is Tennessee Travelin'

On her library critters world tour, "Flat" Cauli V, or Flat Five for short, has once again taken to the U.S. Mail, bound for Gatlinburg, Tennessee.  Flat Five will be visiting Anna Porter Public Library (APPL) to see Porter C.

Porter is Boss Cat at APPL and clearly

knows the best way to run a staff meeting

Here are more pix from APPL's photo galleries on Facebook.  I hope they don't mind if I borrow a couple of my favorites.

A Real Fireplace!  How Totally Cool is That?

Okay, Boss Lady.  We need a real fireplace in our Library like this one that APPL has.  Just saying.

APPL's Stained Glass Mountain Range

What an absolutely fantastic stained glass mountain range mural!  Why don't WE have anything as wonderful as this at our Library?  Just asking.

Gatlinburg, Tennessee

How can we get some of those beautiful mountains here in Mooresville, Boss Lady?  Check your supply catalogs!  I bet you can order some.  You can get practically everything on the Internet.

We're plenty excited about Flat Five's adventures with Porter C. Bibliocat and the great staff at Anna Porter Public Library.  I'll keep you posted on all the exciting details.

Really Wish I Were Visiting Anna Porter PL Moiself,

P.S.  Here's a promo trailer (from YouTube) for the 4th annual library luau (2009) to raise funds for the APPL building fund.  This video happened three years ago, so you should check the APPL website to see what's happening this year.
