The Friends of the Library want to give a huge thank you to John Carmon and his family for providing space for our book sorting activity. Without a space to sort the book donations that are the basis of the annual Book Sale, the Friends would have a very difficult time holding the sale in May. Book Sale 2009 made over $18,500 and all the profits are given back to the library in the form of programs, and various gifts to enhance the Library experience. The Carmon family's generous support of the Friends and the Library is greatly appreciated.
