To date, the Friends have contributed to many summer and fall children's reading and crafts programs, have purchased audio books, CDs, DVDs, a new clock for the children's room and another for the first floor. Of course, our largest contribution was a new computer set up for the circulation desk in the children's room. We hope that we're making a difference and we appreciate all who turn out to support our fund raisers. |

Our annual Holiday Mini-Bazaar held on Saturday, December 6, 2008 brought in a profit of $173. We had fun with our offerings, everything from lavender muffins to needlepoint ornaments to sparkling tiaras for the little princess in your family. Thanks to those who helped and to those who purchased. |

The used book sale, held on May 17, 2008, brought in $453. We think our profit dropped due to a lack of dealers buying in bulk. we intend to make it a routine practice to notify dealers in our area.

| Our used book sale of September 29, 2007 was a huge success, thanks to all of you who donated and/or bought books. The weather was perfect for an outdoor event...but no event is successful without people who care. The Friends earned $911 for the benefit of the library. |
Below are a few photos of previous book sale days--we thought you might enjoy them. The usual net is between $700 and $1,000. A good time was had by all. |

Ink Cartridge Recycling: A no cost way to help us. Bring your empty inkjet printer cartridges to the library or any Friends meeting or event. We package them and forward to a recycle vendor; they pay $1 to $4 per cartridge. Unacceptable are previously-refilled cartridges or cartridges from bubble jet printers or toner cartridges from copiers and anything by Epson. Also, our vendor recently notified us that large toner cartridges are no longer acceptable. |
