Hey Summer Readers, join us for a “congratulations” and “job well done” celebration. The Library Friends will host the party on Thursday, August 21 at 6 PM on the library square and greenspace. All who participated in the summer program, along with their families, are invited to attend. Test your skill at hopscotch, drop some clothes pins in the bottle and toss a few bean bags. March in a game of musical chairs and pin the paper pepperoni on the giant pizza board.
The drawings for the grand prizes (Razor scooter & helmet and shelf music system) will be held on the 21st. You need not be present to win. Refreshments will be served.
So summer readers, gather up your families and join us on August 21.

A big Thank You to all who supported the Friends of the Library Book/Food Sale held during Good Neighbor Days. It was a great success. Many readers found just that special book, while the strawberry shortcake and sloppy joes tickled the taste buds of the many folks who dined with us.
We are pleased to announce that we made our goal and received the matching funds offered by Thrivent. Our sincere thanks to Thrivent for providing this opportunity.
Remember that donations of books, movies, music CDs & puzzles are accepted all year long. Drop off sites include the Howard Lake Library & Howard Lake City Offices.
See you next year at the sale.
