Spring Cleaning?

One of our wonderful, long-time book sale patrons is hoping to acquire a portable CD player that has built-in speakers (not headphones). If you have one to donate she will greatly appreciate it!

We gave out bookmarks at the book sale, and these will be available at the library as well. There is great info on them, such as:

-we sell books all year long.

-our next BIG book sale is Sept.
11-13 at the Academy Building.

-we are forever grateful for our sponsors who generously support the book sales. TD Bank is not listed on these, but they are a very important sponsor! If not for the use of the TD garage we couldn’t have spring sales when it rains!

Thank you so much to Coodinator Seth in the 2CF MakerSpace for a very fun presentation at our Annual Meeting last night. It was so interesting to see how many different kinds of projects can be done at the library for low to no cost! I knew about 3d printing, but had no idea about the laser-etching, sewing, embroidery, screen printing, acrylic printing, AV capabilities, and large-scale printers. Be sure to check out their website to schedule a 1:1 appt or pop in during their open hours!

Please join us next Tuesday evening
