The Giving Tree

Each year the library purchases as many new books and craft supplies as possible. If you are interested in helping us replace worn titles or if you are willing to purchase craft supplies for story time please stop by the library and take a look.

Step 1 - Select a yellow star ornament. There are both children's book titles that need replacing as well as craft supplies needed.

Step 2 - Bring your ornament(s) to the circulation desk and we will write down the items you have selected.

Step 3 - Bring your purchased item to the library. Thank you for your generosity and support!
