Library Fundraising Event

This Week at the Library

Adopt-a-Book for Christmas

Are you looking for a unique way to show your Christmas spirit?
Have you got a hard-to-buy-for person on your shopping list?
Looking for something eco-friendly?

Adopt a Book!
A $30 donation makes a book available to thousands of readers! If you wish, you will be placed first in line for the book you adopt. Your donation is tax-deductible and your name (or other inscription) is printed on a bookplate in your "adopted" book. The books are currently on display in the Library. From picture books to the latest best seller, there is something for everyone on your list.

Adopt-a-book is also an excellent way to recognize someone or something special: birthdays, anniversaries, and memorials.

For more information, please call Communications and Fund Development at 780-459-1750.
