The Friends of the Riter C. Hulsey Public Library are so grateful to the community and our donors for the wonderful turnout at last week's inaugural "Next Chapter Silent Auction and Happy Hour." Thanks to everyone's generosity, we raised in excess of $3,000 for the library. If you didn't get to attend, don't worry, we plan to host an even bigger and better event next year! In the meantime, you can visit the main library and support us by purchasing a Friends logo tote bag for $15 or a beautiful bookmark for $10, handmade by Friends member Chris Pickle. 📖
