Thanks to Gloria Brinkman for making a donation to our recent fundraiser. Between all the generous cash and food donations and the hard work of the volunteers the library raised over $660 at the Paxton IGA cookout and bake sale in early May.

New books at the library are The Secret by Beverly Lewis, Hannah by Jerry Eicher, Prairie County Fair by Freda Chrisman, Maryland by Loree Lough, Maine by Carol Mason Parker and Montana Skies by Ann Bell.

A new collection of large print books, 65-70 different titles, will arrive in the library this week and be available to the public for the next two months.

The children’s Summer Reading Program will begin early in June. This year we hope to top last year’s numbers when a total of 26 children read over 179 books and won prizes for their efforts.
