Citizen News Library Column
The library will be closed on Sunday, February 17 and
Monday, February 18 in observance of Presidents’ Day. There are some school projects that students
are working on so please take the holiday closing into consideration when
planning to do any research at the library.
Friends of the Library Book
Are you getting bored and cleaning out those
bookshelves? Don’t know what to do with
all those books but you don’t want to throw them away? Have the kids outgrown their children’s books? The Friends of the Library have a solution
for your problem. Beginning on March 5th
and running through to the 26th, they will be accepting donations of
books for their upcoming book sale to be held on Saturday, March 29, Sunday,
March 30, and Monday, March 31. Please
drop off books during library hours only.
Books left outside in inclement weather no longer become a viable
donation for sale. Don’t have any books
but would still like to help? Volunteers
are always needed to help sort the books in preparation for the sale. Monetary donations are welcomed as well!
