Individuals may take up to three boxes, each containing two test kits. Come to the Patron Services desk to pick up these free kits. Leftover items from the Friends of the Library Book Sale are available downstairs for a limited time. An optional small donation to the Friends Group is encouraged and may be made at the Patron Services desk. Don't miss the Truck Stop Gypsies concert this Friday!
