Winter Clothing for Adults |
|
In addition to serving 28 people in need of warm clothing at the free store events we held this past Friday and Saturday, thanks to the generosity of our community we have enough supplies that we are also planning to continue to have clothing available during regular library service hours through Tuesday, November 30th (or until we run out of clothing)! No proof of need is required – anyone who could use warm clothing in adult sizes is welcome to come and pick some out. We're so grateful to all our supporters who have donated warm clothing, blankets, hand warmers, and more! It's your contributions and your help spreading the word that have made this event possible.

From Monday, December 6th through the end of that month, we'll be expanding our book sale corner to include some of the books we're pulling from our collection. Bring your cash (or checks, or credit cards,) and pay as much or as little as you will to bring some of these books home and give them a new lease on life on your own shelves! All proceeds to benefit the Aloha Community Library Association. |
