Mark your calendars and clean off the shelves

Put March 18 on your calendar for the popular Game Day 2-4 p.m. in the library classroom, including our new Wii games.

The Friends of the Library welcome you to the monthly meeting on March 15 at 10:30 a.m. in the library classroom. The main topic for discussion will be the upcoming April book sale.

The lobby display for March features photographer Jim Backus from Eau Claire. Take a look to your right as you enter the library to see the variety of artistic styles people bring to our displays.

The library will be sponsoring a book discussion of the book “The Story of Edgar Sawtelle” at 6:30 p.m. April 12 in the library classroom. It is a lengthy book, so start reading!

The Friends of the Library are busy planning the big annual book sale slated for April 23-24. The Friends accept donations year-round, but would especially appreciate them now and until the week before the sale. They need time to go through them and sort by category, making it easier for you when you come to the sale. Bring your donations to the front desk anytime we are open.
