Garfield Library Thanks Community for its Support

The primary classes at Garfield Elementary lead the annual library penny drive by raising $186.86 in April.

 

Congratulations to Mrs. Kern’s class for being the biggest donor! Librarian Kelsey will see you at your cupcake and ice cream party. Donations from the school and branch totaled $193.50. Garfield has a truly great community.

The Garfield Library has received $400 in quality children’s books as a part of a 2 to 1 matching grant from the Libri Foundation.  The $150 in matching money was raised through library book sales.  Each title was personally selected by Librarian Kelsey with her customers in mind.  Watch for announcements of the date for a special community reading to introduce children to the great new books.

Children’s Summer Reading is right around the corner; with the first program on June 12 at 3 p.m.  Adult and teen summer reading runs from June 1 through August 31.

 

All participants will be rewarded with something special.  Hastings Entertainment has provided a $20 gift certificate for the teen summer reading drawing.  The generosity of the community helps make all our programs extra special.
