This past Saturday was just perfect for our
Book Sale.... Everyone wore masks, kept their distance, and found many
treasures! It was just great seeing everyone enjoying themselves. It was so
much fun that we have decided to continue our Book Sale this coming Saturday
(October 17th from 9 until 1) with boxes and boxes of different
books. Our patrons continue to donate many good reads and we look forward to
passing them on to you! As always, we encourage you to fill a bag and then make
a generous donation to our little library. See you Saturday!
“Porchside Pickup”
and “Library by Appointment” will continue... email us with your wish list of
reads or to set up an appointment and we will do our best. Our library hours
this week are Wednesday 2-5 and Saturday 9-1. You are also welcome to stop by
when the flag is out without an appointment and hopefully we will be able to
accommodate you.
Our fun Story Walk (In the Woods: Who’s Been Here? By Lindsay
Barrett George) on the Common will be continuing this week... It has been fun
having many of our local families taking part in this activity. Please send
photos and comments to Jane who is putting together a memory page.

Hilderbrand...many of us have been eagerly waiting for the conclusion to this
