Please consider buying and donating lottery tickets to help us build this year’s Book Lovers Party Lottery Tree. Last year’s lottery tree gave our lucky winner $210! If you can help, please put your tickets in an envelope to the attention of Maryalice Hagan / Lottery Tree and drop them at the library by Monday, February 17. Be sure your name is on the envelope so you can be properly thanked.


The program committee is planning for the Book Lovers Party 2020 and we’re asking for your help!
