FUNDRAISER THIS WEEK

Show Your Support for the Library
 
Come on out to Belk's this weekend to participate in the Charity Day Sale. Purchase a ticket for $5 and all proceeds go to the library. Then use your ticket to get special discounts during the sale. We'll have a table before and during the sale. 
 
 

IT'S BOOK FAIR TIME!
The Friends of the Library will be hosting a Scholastic Book Fair on August 4-8. There will be books for kids of all ages from pre-k to eighth grade. This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Many of us still remember the rush of finding the perfect book at a Scholastic Book Fair. I hope you’ll join your child at our library’s fair and share a reading experience they’ll remember forever.
 
Sunday will be a preview sale for members of our Friends. All week days are open to the public but on Monday we invite our homeschool families and Tuesday we invite all area pre-school and daycares to come out. Thursday will be family night as we’ll have a special treat from 5-7pm.
