If you have books to donate and want me to do a porch pickup, contact me at [email protected] or PM Teri Anne . Otherwise, feel free to add them to our highly-used book library! Thank you for your support.
PS...we added a few artificial flowers to jazz up the Library bases. Thank you Jerry Dickinson !
