Once again, the Hammond Library is serving as a drop-off location for the Holiday Angels program. Bring in your new, unwrapped gift and it will be distributed to local families in need this Christmas. You have until December 9 to bring your gift in! There is always a need for gifts that appeal to older kids, and books always make great gifts. Thanks in advance for your support of this program!

The Friends of the Library has decided to add a new twist to the very popular Costume Swap event in October! This year, besides offering gently used Halloween costumes and accessories at great prices, we would like to offer holiday dresses and outfits! You know the ones – the frilly Easter dress your daughter will only wear once. Or, the baptism outfit your son wore 2 years ago. Or the velvet Christmas dress that needs a new home. We will offer these gently used items at our Costume Swap for a great price. If you have any boys’ or girls’ Christmas, Easter, baptism, First Communion, wedding or other dressy outfits, please donate them to the Library for this event. You can bring them to the front desk at any time. Thanks in advance for your support! As always, the proceeds from this event will benefit the Hammond Library’s programs and resources.
