Thank you to the Friends of the Library for providing the grant to fund our Summer Reading Prize Market prizes and many of this Summer‘s program presenters!

If you would like to support their efforts, you may join or donate to the Friends of the Library. Find out more about the Friends of the Library and their fundraising efforts on their web page.

We also want to recognize our Teen Volunteer Corp, who did an amazing job staffing Prize Markets at both branches all summer long! In addition to redeeming prize tokens, they assisted with all kinds of library needs: straightening collections, cleaning toys in the Children’s department, creating cool book displays in the Teen and Adult departments, and helping with programs like Romp and Stomps and storytimes.
