Annual Fund Drive to purchase audio books for the Library Thank you to all who helped stuff (3100!) envelopes for the Annual Fund Drive! All South Berwick residents will receive the letter requesting support for the library in the form of contributions for the purchase of audio books. The library's current collection is small and the requests for more books on tape and CD are many! By donating to this drive, at whatever level, you not only help increase the library's collection but you demonstrate support for our library. |
