BOOK SALES FOR 2008

August 28 & 29
October 2 & 3

Open 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
We continually have donations brought in and our shelves are
fully
stocked! Lots of popular authors to choose from. Both
fiction and non-fiction. We also have a good selection of
children's books. The book sale is sponsored by the Friends of
the Library.
The Library has received a grant from the Barry
Community Foundation! This grant will be used to do
a  landscaping
make-over at the front of the library
building
. Our plan is to use ornamental grasses and
other plantings that are environmentally friendly,
using little water and fertilizer. We want to provide a
pleasing appearance for library users and the
surrounding community.  Helping to make this
happen are the library board members, Master
Gardener, Pam Brocato, the Friends of the Library,
and volunteers.
