The Library Giving Tree 

If you are looking for a gift idea this holiday season, consider donating an item to the library in honor of a family member or friend.

When you visit the library this month, look for the Giving Tree in the main lobby. Each ornament on the tree represents an item that we would like to add to the youth or adult collection. Select an item for the library to be given in the name of a friend or relative. We’ll provide a gift enclosure card for the recipient and a brief dedication inside the item. Your generosity is much appreciated by all our readers.
