Youth Library

The Youth Library could use any copies of colorful board books. They are read by our littlest patrons!

They also could use paperbacks by Beverly Cleary, Judy Blume, Louis Sachar (Wayside School, etc.), and the "I Spy" series by Jean Marzollo and Walter Wick. They're so popular they literally fall apart!

Thanks to everyone who donates either new books or cash to the "Buy a Book" fund!
