“Let’s Celebrate!” Stop by the library Wednesday, August 16 any time from 4:00 - 6:00 P.M. for an open house. This event is celebrating 112 new high-quality children’s books we received through a grant from The Pilcrow Foundation. The Pilcrow Foundation supports rural public library communities through the Children’s Book Project. The Friends of the Library partnered as local sponsors of the grant by donating one third of the funds used to purchase the new books. These additions to our children’s collection include picture books, early readers, each chapter books, juvenile fiction and nonfiction selections as well as young adult titles. Come and see these wonderful new books!
The Friends of the Library and the library staff and board are also celebrating our community and it’s continued support of our library.
Join us as we extend our appreciation to our supporters. Refreshments will be served. “Let’s Celebrate!”
