Thank you!

Library users have been putting books ON the shelves.There are more books on the shelves of our library branches thanks to the generosity of people who have been looking at our wish lists and buying books at our local bookstores for the Library.
To add your own book, check the Wish List and head out to your local bookstore. The store will make sure the Library gets the book you purchase.

Books for the Library

The Library doesn't have all the money it needs to buy enough books, DVDs, and CDs this year. Families can help by buying books like THE MANNY FILES (Christian Burch), LOST AND FOUND: THREE DOG STORIES(Jim LaMarche), or the latest JUNIE B. JONES (Barbara Park) at their local bookstores and giving them to the Library.
People are giving us copies of their favorite books or copies of books from our Wish List.
Other people, like Ruth Royal, are raising money to buy books. She just celebrated her 70th birthday, and at her party people put money into a special box she made. When she gave the Library the money, she asked that all the money be spent on books for kids!
