This month we are welcoming back some of our most popular events! Our 3rd annual Youth Maker’s Market, our annual fundraiser Wine Survivor, and our Tiny Art Exhibit. If you picked up a mini canvas for our Tiny Art Exhibit, please return it to the library by November 12 so it can be displayed at the exhibit opening on November 20.
We want to thank everyone who participated in our Afghan-a-thon in the library and from home. Our volunteers and participants are continuing the project crocheting the squares into lap blankets which will be donated to the Carman Palliative Care Program.
Please take note that the library will be closed on Saturday November 9 for the long weekend.
