We Love Our Friends!

We have a great group of Friends. Led by Shirley Patchett, Friends members and volunteers baked, priced, set up and sold all kinds of wonderful goodies (and jewelry and coffee table books) at their Holiday Bake Sale, bringing in $925.42 - almost double their previous best! Thank you to Shirley and all her helpers, too numerous to mention here, to Elinor Weldgen who arranged the jewelry display in spite of her recent surgery, and to Martin Dudley for donating two of his handcrafted nautical-themed wreaths. We're grateful for all the time you donate for the benefit of the library. Thank You!
