NOVEMBER PROGRAMS

Blankets of Gratitude
Thursday, November 10th, 7-8pm
This winter, thousands of veterans will spend time in a VA hospital or facility, away from the warmth of home, family and friends. We want them to know that they are remembered, that we are thinking of them, and that we are grateful for their past service. Join us to tie together warm fleecy material to make blankets of gratitude. All participants will receive an hour of community service.

Book Buddies
Teens and children become “buddies” by sharing books and a positive library experience. Children get a chance to practice their reading skills and/or be read to while teens gain volunteer experience, community service credit and a chance to make a difference in a child’s life. Book Buddies will meet on: Mondays, November 7th, 21st, 28th & December 5th, 12th, 19th from 3:30 – 4:15pm
