LIBRARY FUNDRAISERS |
 | The Bridgewater Public Library and our good friends at
Barrett's Alehouse in Bridgewater are teaming up to hold a fundraiser to benefit the library given our recent budget cuts. Since you won't feel like cooking on July 7th and your fridge will
be empty 😉- go to Barrett's instead for lunch, dinner, a cold beverage or a gift card! The library will receive 20% of all purchases that will go towards programming, books and some much needed improvements! We thank you for your overwhelming generosity! |
