Our story time participants went on a field trip to the fire hall this past Tuesday. Mayor Allen Clark did a presentation of fire safety tips. They returned to the library for stories, snacks, and to make a “Thank You” gift for the fireman. We certainly appreciate all the hard work and training that our volunteers put into the fire company.

Attention all “Thirty-One” people. We are having a fund raiser for the library. If you are in need of a new bag, or if you are looking for Christmas gifts, be sure to mark Tuesday, November 13, on your calendar. There will be a table display all day at the library.
