The Board and staff members of the library would like to thank all of the volunteers that made the April library book sale successful. It takes an enormous amount of work, time, planning, organization and physical labor to pull-off a book sale of this size. Your dedication to the library is appreciated.

Thank you to all of the community members who shop at our book sale in support of our library as well!
