SPECIAL EVENT!! 


Adopt-A-Book is now continuing until December 31!! 

It's that time of year again and we have MANY wonderful titles still available for adoption! 

Adopt-A-Book
is the library's annual fundraiser to help build the book collection.  An assortment of new adult fiction/non-fiction, young adult, and children's releases will be on display for patrons to "adopt" (purchase) for the library.  A commemorative book plate will be placed in the book and the adopting patron can be the first to check the book out of the library.

Adopt-A-Book is also the perfect gift for any holiday or occasion. The library will provide a lovely card that you can send to your family members or friends so they will know about the gift given in their name. Also a commemorative book plate will be inscribed with their name and added to the book. 

Please go to our website soon for a list of available  Adopt-A-Book titles at  www.plnl.org.
 
Donations are tax-deductible.

Please call the library at 860-447-1411 x3 with questions.
