2023 Recap:

In 2023 we had three fundraisers. First and foremost, all the donations we received from our loyal friends and families was by far our biggest fundraiser. Thank you so much for your continued support! We were also able to have two Book and Yard Sales, which through the donations of books and quality yard sale items we were very successful.

We ask that you, our loyal friends and families, continue to support us in 2024 as the needs for "your" library are great. New books, programs for children and adults, along with community functions, continue to be enjoyed by our library patrons.
