Friends of the Library is sponsoring a coat drive for the children and families served at the TV Children's Relief Nursery. For each coat delivered to the Ontario Community Library the person donating will recieve a raffle ticket. The winning ticket will be drawn at the American Girl party on March 2 but the winner does not need to be present to win. The prize is a really cute set of furniture for any doll the approximate size of the American Girl dolls. The furniture, worth about $150, was donated by the Community Library Board and is currently on display at the library. Please help us pass the word!
