On Oct. 28, more than 35 people came to the library to paint rocks for soliders serving in Kuwait. Small rocks were colorfully painted to brighten the lives of service men and women serving in Kuwait. The library provided materials and sent finished rocks to the troops.
Santa and Mrs. Claus visited the library on Dec. 2.
The Food for Fines program collected two boxes of food for the Community Center in November, and nearly 200 people attended the annual Community Christmas Party on Dec. 2.
