Library Lowdown

Thank you to everyone who came to the book fair.  Hopefully you found something that your child is excited about while supporting the library and its programs.  We truly appreciate your support.

Another huge thank you to all of the volunteers that staffed the book fair.  It’s a busy week but the fair could not happen without you.  I am personally grateful for everyone who has given their time to set up / sell / tear down the book fair.  Special thanks to Anne Powers, Sarah Donoho and Julie Fleisch for leading another great fair. Thank you!!
