"You certainly have a lot of eye candy here!

                        ~Isle MN Librarian, Carolyn, after touring the JFHML
Jessie F. Hallett Memorial Library



During the Month of November we are thankful, grateful and appreciative.
Thankful for the JFHML Staff and Friends Foundation, grateful for the many Volunteers who are dedicated to their community public Library, and appreciative of our patrons who celebrate the services we are able to provide.
We also become invigorated at this time of year, because this is when we ask our supporters to participate in our JINGLE BOOKS FUNDRAISING PROGRAM!
Jingle Books Banner
What is Jingle Books? It is the annual giving campaign conducted by the JFHML Friends to raise funds to purchase book, e-books, audiobooks and periodical titles for 2017. Last year the Library raised $16,600 with the help of a Hallett Trust MATCHING GRANT. This year, once again, YOUR DONATION WILL BE DOUBLED by the generosity of the Hallett Trust up to a $10,000 match!
The Jingle Books campaign begins on Give to the Max Day, celebrated across Minnesota on Thursday, November 17, 2016.
On that day, donors can give online at www.givemn.org or come into the Library with their tax-deductible check made payable to the JFHML Friends Foundation and they will receive a coupon for a FREE Keurig beverage from the Le Connection area.
