Thank you to everyone that donated books for our Fall Book Sale. We sold lots of books and the remaining we filled little libraries in town and donated some to Elk River Prison. We also gave some to a mobile library that teaches Spanish speaking people English.
We appreciate everyone's support. Watch the library page for programs we will be funding with the funds from the sale.
