As a result of our 2/1/23 Book Sale Committee meeting, I am pleased to announce 2 great additions to our Friends "team" this month:
Friends were happy to sponsor the prizes at last week's Chili Cook-off and also help serve chili to our patrons - it was a fun event for the cooks AND the tasters! Library made $779.00.
March Friends Open House is 3/16/23 6:00-7:30pm - please put this on your calendars and look for an invitation from Judy Webber, we hope you can join us! Lots of accomplishments to celebrate and lots of work to be done in 2023 - Book Sales, Gardens...Little Libraries...
Spring Book Sale will be here before you know it - donations will be accepted 3/26-3/30, Friends Only pre-sale is 4/1 at 9am-12pm and the sale will be open to the public 4/2-4/8 during normal Library hours (NOTE: closed Friday 4/7 for Good Friday).
