Are you a member of the Friends of the Library? Or maybe just curious and would like to know more about them and how they support the Library? You’re in luck– the Friends of the Library organization will host its first Annual General Meeting on Monday, July 17, at 5:30 pm. in the Library’s Community Room.  Members of the Friends group as well as the public are invited to learn more about the Friends organization and how it works to support the Library through membership donations, the annual book sale, and other volunteer opportunities.

Speaking of the book sale… If you’re looking for a new home for your gently used books that are still in good condition, you can give them new life by donating them to the Friends of the Library for their annual book sale! The sale is held Labor Day weekend, but your literary donations may be brought to the Library during our regular hours beginning Aug. 1.

Please be sure your donations are still current and in mint condition. We ask that you please not leave books anywhere outside the Library building. Small donations (less than a box) may be brought to the circulation desk, and our staff will be happy to direct where to leave larger boxes or greater quantities. We are very appreciative of your support and generosity, and look forward to seeing you at the book sale later this summer!

The Super Silly Bazillion Bubble Circus, obstacle course for ages 3 and up, and game afternoon for ages 10 and up are on tap for Summer Reading Program events next week! Please call or stop by the Library to find out more about them and sign up to participate in the obstacle course.
