It’s hard to believe, but we only have 2 meetings left for the year--September 14th and November 9th. Both are at 1pm in the Library Meeting Room. The November meeting is especially important, because we recap the whole previous year and set our goals for the next year. We had a lot of fun sponsoring the Back to School Ice Cream Social, this is one of the fun events we look forward to all year. We want to just take a minute and thank our corporate sponsors: Glenwood Junior Womans Club, Gabe’s Restaurant and PF Appraisals. Their sponsorship helps us do what we do. We are excited to be working on a new Facebook Page (more information to follow). Of course, we are always looking for New Friends. Our applications may be found in the library. If you can’t join us, please continue to look at our bookshelves for purchasing slightly used books and buying the candy bars at the Front Desk. These are our main fundraisers, and the money all goes back into the library, for YOUR programs and events. Happy Fall!
