Library Book Donation & Sale

THANKS to everyone for your participation. We still have a few books on the tables so stop by & you might find just the right book for a Christmas present! You were very generous with your book & money donations.  We will have some "donation receipt" notes by next week if you would like one for tax purposes.  

We who work in the Library enjoyed seeing all the books donated so they could be enjoyed by a new owner!

Thanks again!
