Library News
          The reorganization of the library is almost complete. We still have a few more adult books to catalog, but check it out! There are some great books, and we have a good number of audiobooks for your next auto trip or when you paint your living room. 1st Sunday Movie Night DVDs are here, too.
          The children’s library has some terrific books and they are organized according to grade level, although they do overlap. The young children shelves contain books to be read to the children, and those they can read themselves.
Betsy McLoughlin has been giving wonderful books each year in honor of her parents who loved children and loved to read. Thanks, Betsy!

THANK YOU
We thank all our friends for their thoughtfulness, kindnesses and caring in the recent weeks. The sympathies and love are so appreciated.
Eleanor, John A. & Barbara McKean
