Giving Tree Fundraiser: Shop for the library this holiday season from now until Tuesday January 16. We have several items the library needs. It’s EASY. Grab a Christmas tag off our giving tree of something you would like to donate to the library. Buy it, donate it, whatever it says and bring the tag and the item in as soon as you can. We would like all donations turned in by January 31, 2018.

READO Winter Reading Challenge.: Feeling the winter blues? Break out of it by playing READO with us now until Thursday March 1. READO is open to both kids and adults, and is just like regular Bingo, but with books. Come into the library and pick up a READO card. Read some of the books indicated on your READO card and make a “Bingo” of the books you have read. Turn in your READO card after you have made a “Bingo” and be entered into a drawing to win a prize at the end of the program. The kids can win a 3D Pen Set, and the adults can win a Kindle Fire. Please note: The Library Staff retains the right to ask questions pertaining to a book to verify if the book has been read.

Canned Food Drive: We will be having our annual Canned Food Drive to benefit the Morrisville Food Pantry from Tuesday January 2- Wednesday February 28. Please help us make it better than last year. Not only will you be making a generous contribution to our food pantry, but for every item you donate, we will take a $1 off your outstanding fines.
