If you have items to donate, please contact the library at 429-9625 to arrange to either drop them off or have them picked up. Volunteers are needed to help set up and run the sale.
The library will be doing a Bikes for Books event until Aug. 12. There are three grade categories: pre-K-K, grades 1-2 and grades 3-6 (the grade attended in the school year just over).
Kids are invited to read books over the summer to have their names put into the appropriate bucket. There will be two winners in each category. Thanks go to the Aroostook Lodge197 for donating the bikes.
Regular library happening include Toddler Time on Tuesdays at 10, as well as Craft Club on Mondays, 5:30-7:30 p.m. Bring your favorite cross-stitch piece, knitting, crocheting or other craft to work on in the company of others.
