Give the gift of community with our Christmas Wishing tree Fundraiser. Your donations go towards improving many different parts of the library. From adding books to our shelves, to allowing us to create new community programs.
Here are a few of the ways your donations have impacted the library in the last year:- We were able to purchase needle felting supplies which allowed us to run 5 different needle felting programs with a total of 33 participants!- We added more than 40 items to our shelves including, children's books, adult books, book club kits, and more!
- We started a board game collection, allowing community members to check out board games to play at home.
None of this would be possible without your generous donations.
Thank you for your support! |
