 SPECIAL EVENT!!
Last Day of Adopt-A-Book is December 31!
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.
