LIBRARY NEWS
Thank you to all the people who generously donate items to the library. In order to accommodate the donations, we would appreciate it if you followed these guidelines:

• No magazines more than 6 months old
• Paperbacks and hard cover books in good condition only
• Leave donations in a bag or box, but limit the amount dropped off at any one time to a reasonable amount
• No videos unless commercially produced
• No puzzles with missing pieces

Keep in mind that we only have so much room and so few people to keep the library organized. Your cooperation is appreciated!

Please don’t file books that are being returned. Place them in the designated boxes for the library staff to handle.

Do not remove bookends from the library. They are purchased by the library and needed to keep the shelves organized. Please return the ones that have been borrowed.

Finally, we are looking for more volunteers to help with the library responsibilities. Any amount of time would be appreciated. Please call Lois Sims at 376-2591 if you’re interested.
