Shopping Spree

Drop by and visit our new Friends of the Library Little Shop!

We've got great gifts for kids, the grandkids, even the adults.  Product changes weekly, so drop by often and check it out.

Proceeds go to help your library, and we all win!

We Always Treat You Royally

We don't need the excitement and pageantry of a Royal Wedding to treat you like Lords and Ladies, but we were delighted to have the chance to get all dressed up, put on the fancy hats, and celebrate the Royal Couples' happy day!

Jelly Beans for Books

Here's a sweet idea!  Guess the number of jelly beans in the tank with our Bear, and you can win the lot.


Careful -- it's harder than you might think. Bear takes up some room.
And Ross, who put this together for us, has been a little crafty - there are ju-jubes in there, and they are not jelly beans.


Still, for $2.00, you can see how good your powers of estimation are!

Arrows!

These are two of the targets that will be on the course May 1st for our 3rd Annual Archery Tournament at Logging Chain Lodge.

Event goes, rain or shine. Lunch is available. We've got fabulous door prizes and a silent auction. The course is second to none, and gets rave reviews every year from the participants.

Come on over! Even if you are not a budding Robin Hood, you'll enjoy watching the activity at the resort!

Thanks again to the Friend of the Library, and to Logging Chain Lodge, for organizing this event!
