Continuing Donation

Over a number of years we have been receiving an ongoing donation on a monthly basis from several donors. 

The Library uses these donations to add new items to our collection in a variety of areas including Large Print Books, Adult Audio Books and any areas we designate as in need of additional items. 

We appreciate what they have done for us in helping to build our collection with current items our patrons request.
