Fall has arrived! These cooler temperatures are a welcome relief from the heat. It is also good book reading weather. 

Please join the Friends of the Library on Thursday, Nov. 7 at 1 p.m. for a talk on How to Immune Boost Your Holidays presented by Jennifer Kindle. After the presentation there will be light refreshments and a business meeting about upcoming Friends activities.

Once again the library is conducting a book drive to benefit Caring and Sharing. Purchase a new book for a child infant to age 12 and drop it off at the library. If you do not want to do the shopping, a cash donation is accepted and the library will purchase a book with the donation. Help us reach our goal of 200 books. We will accept books through Dec. 7.
