Columbus Day.
Take a peek at our FREE book cart outside in the hallway! Take as many as you'd like! Donations are welcome!
Don’t forget our ongoing book and DVD sale inside the Library! Everything is $1 and paperback books are 2 for $1!
We also have audio books and magazines that can be taken out.
Thank you to Simon who shared his wonderful book report with us!
The Bad Guys by Aaron Blabey was an awesome book! He let us know that his favorite character was Piranha, describing the character as "fish like, tough, small, and crazy."
Simon's favorite part is when Piranha was called a mutant sardine!
Lastly, be sure to look at his wonderful drawing!
We couldn't accomplish our goals without the help of supporters like you.
Thank you to all who have donated books and movies in good condition. We appreciate your generosity!
