Christmas tree decorated with homemade paper ornaments
Giving Tree
Our Giving Tree is up and loaded with tags for the Christmas holiday.

We are once again collaborating with Adult Protective Services to collect items for senior gift baskets. Come in, select tags for the items you wish to purchase and donate, and return the items to the library by December 9 at 7:00 pm.

Each item donated from the Giving Tree earns you an entry into our Christmas basket giveaways. We have 6 gift baskets -- place your entry/entries into the container for the basket you want to try to win.

Thank you in advance for your generosity this giving season.
