The library will be closed today , Tuesday, March 19, because of the late winter storm. Lucy got plenty of food and water yesterday so she is fine. We’ll open again tomorrow at 1:00 PM.

The library will be closed again today due to the bad weather. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The Teddy Bear tea will be postponed to next Saturday, February 16.

Throughout December, we had a Wish List in the library and posted online.

We got many donations for childrens’ books and movies, and a couple of audio books. We truly appreciate the generosity of all the people who are helping us to add to our collection.

I want everyone to know that we were totally blown away by a lovely letter stating that dreams do come true and enclosing a check for $250 to help us replace the storm door at our handicap entrance.

THANK you.

The Holiday Wish List is up at the Pember Library. Help us add to our collection. Each item will have a special bookplate with donor’s name.
