These people who donate to libraries are wonderful! When this library is up and going we hope to have more of people from the “north end” giving books to be sold for the library. We also hope more people will join this group.
A big THANK YOU to the Friends of the Library. This will be a bonus to the new library.
The library will be a wonderful facility for the community.
So glad they have been able to establish it. Thanks to all involved in the process.
This is going to be so nice! This building was just going to waste and now look at what a wonderful addition it will be to the community!
