When Jane and John Doe won last week's record $900 million Powerball jackpot, there was no question as to where the fortune was headed. Ms. Doe declared, "During these economic hard times, public libraries are more important than ever. That's why we're donating our winnings to The Friends of the Springfield Library. They could use more copies of Harry Potter.""We're pleased with the gift," said the President of The Friends of the Springfield Public Library, adding, "our library needs several new books and a few computers." The organization plans to brainstorm how to use the windfall at their annual pancake breakfast, held next Sunday at the Elk's Club from 7am - 12pm. Tickets are $5.
