Barnes and Noble Day for the Library

Friday, December 5th is Barnes & Noble Day for the Library. Just print and take one of our vouchers, show it at the B&N check-out, and the library will receive up to 20% of the proceeds. Last year's partnership fundraiser was a huge success so we are hopeful that this year's event will be equally popular.

Not only will library staff be on hand to answer any libary-related questions, we will also be wrapping gifts, conducting story times, and hosting several authors who will be signing their books. Authors scheduled to appear are:

Children's Author, Bobbie Hinman 10 am - Noon
Romance novelist, Loree Lough 11 am - 1 pm
Local Chef, John Shields Noon - 2 pm
Inspirational author, Jennylynn Hart 2 pm - 4pm
Teen Novelist, Lara Zeises 2 pm - 4pm
