Peggy Leefers reminds everyone of "Story Time" this Saturday at the Library. Work day last Wednesday was well attended and much was accomplished. New books in: "Once Upon a River" and "Before I go to Sleep". Thanks to Glen and Susie, and Mike and Becky for their great donations. Boxes of culled and duplicate books were taken to the Lincoln City Mission Distribution Center, and "were greatly appreciated as they tell us they give out many books each day."
