Thanks for your help!
Friends Gift Sale
The Friends of the Library is hosting a Holiday Gift Sale again this year at the library. We are offering Chicken Noodle Soup Mix, Creole Seasoning Mix, Chili Mix, cute Hot Cocoa Packets (for just a buck!) and Tortilla Soup Mix – both with and without a Christmas mug! These items make great gifts for teachers, daycare providers, coworkers, secret Santa recipients – anyone who could use a lift in their day. They are going fast, so hurry in to get yours!
The Friends group is also offering an on-going Die Cut Sale at the front desk. Browse the available die-cut shapes, and place your order by filling out the form and bringing your scrapbook paper in. We will punch the shapes for you, at $.25 each. What a great way to embellish your cards, scrapbook pages, school projects – anything you can think of! Stop by the desk to see what we have available. As always, all proceeds will be used to help out our Library!
