Given the demand, we are extending our Christmas Fine Amnesty through December 12. If you have overdue materials, please bring them back to the Library with at least one can of food per item. Until December 9, we are also collecting toys for the Christmas Mother — one medium toy per overdue item.

And here’s a non-Library plug… I have been told that the Amelia Christmas Mother is in desperate need of toy and monetary donations. They will have a booth at TOMORROW’S craft show. Please consider doing a little Christmas shopping there; the craft show will be at the elementary school from 9:30-3:30. We are also collecting new toys for them — just look for the big red bin in the Children’s Room. This has been such a rough year for so many people. If you can help, please do.
