This Week at Your Library

Library Holiday Open House, Friday, December 6, all day. Stop in for some goodies and check out a book or two! Last month we did a “Battle of the Branches” food drive. Thanks to our patrons’ generosity, we had 76 non-perishable food items to give to the food pantry! The Navy and Army tied for the most donations, with 28 food items in each bin. If you are interested in making a Christmas donation to the library, we have a wish tree set up at the circulation desk. The ornaments on the tree have adult and children’s book titles on them that we would appreciate your help in purchasing for the library. The library will be closed December 24 and 25, in celebration of Christmas. Merry Christmas! We will also be closed on January 1, for the New Year’s holiday.
