Thanks to the FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY we have new shelves in the children's area!

Aren't they lovely!? This shelving unit replaces those pesky spinners the books on tape/cd used to be on. These are one of the benefits of the Friends of the Library's Spelling Bee in 2007. The couch and music CD holder are the other new elements from the Friends!

It took a team to get the shelves together! Thanks to Bill North, David Geist, Steve Schmidt, Larry Morgan and Bernie Shakel for helping Leesa and me.

Kathy Here's the link to the Friends you can thank them if you'd like!

THANKS to the Cocoa Bean!!!!

Eileen and Marvin from the Cocoa Bean present a $400 check for Booker the Book Bus to library staff members Leesa, Kathy and Diana.

Thanks to all who purchased Hawaiian Shaved Ice at Books and Stars this summer it was a great way to help keep Booker rolling!

Thanks Cocoa Bean!
