100 Years Celebration Time

Posted on August 28th, 2010 by librarian

Would anyone (never hurts to ask) have access to a BIG (like 30′x30′) tent for us to use at our October 2nd celebration?  We’re afraid to have an outdoor book sale anymore without a cover.   Bring your donations (nice, gently used, no Readers Digest condensed or old encylopedias please) to the Library.    Stay tuned for more information.
