President ~ Dennis Strey Dear Friends, First of all, we have a special treat this year, a gorgeous quilt that we will be raffling. Made and graciously donated by local quilting expert Diana Napier, it features a "butterflies and books" theme and lovely colors that would complement any room. But don't just take my word for it- come into the library this summer and see for yourself! The raffle will begin on Saturday, May 28, the date of our annual Book Sale, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Come in and get your summer reading -- and your raffle tickets - all at the same time! |
|
On that note, please bring your book donations into the library now for our book sale in May. Children's books are especially appreciated.
You may have noticed that the tulips and spring bulbs
are up and blossoming in the flower garden. Later this spring we will
be planting petunias and other annuals. We are always looking for
help with planting and weeding. There are no special days or times
for weeding - if you have time to spare, come on out. Most of the
work so far has been done by Janie and Stan LaPacz, but there is a
big area
to care for and they can use the help.
We will be having our annual meeting at the library on June 11, 2005. The meeting will begin at 11:00 am. We would really like to have a good turnout for this meeting. We are always looking for new ideas and creative participation.
The Friends wish you a safe and healthy summer. Keep in mind the craft sale in November.
We are enclosing in your newsletter two books of raffle
tickets. We hope you will purchase these tickets or sell them and
return the stubs and money to Janie LaPacz at the library. If you
do not sell the tickets, please return them so we can sell them. Thank
you for your support in this fund raiser.

Come see "Mr. Billy" on Tuesday, July 19, at 6:30. This FREE show (for kids of all ages) features songs like "Bernie the Bubble-Breathing Dragon" and "The Dog Ate My Homework." As an exciting bonus, at the show we will draw one name to win a brand new copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
From July 1 to August 13, we will have great activities for the kids to do, including making a dancing dragon and creating a coat of arms. Each week we will feature a new activity for kids to make and take ANY TIME during our regular library hours. We will also have coloring pages and crayons for little ones to use while older brothers and sisters do their projects!
And don't forget our summer reading program. Whether you get to the
new Harry Potter (or you're still working on the last one…) kids
of all ages can sign up for reading fun and great prizes throughout
the summer!
See you this summer!
