Friends of the Library
Please join us for our Fall Planning Meeting . Bring a brown bag lunch and we’ll provide water and cider. We’ll have a brief meeting to review our events this past year, as well as the budget, and we’ll look at plans going forward. After the business meeting, Co-Chair Jo Moore is offering to do a very fun (and easy!) brown-bag star craft for those interested. (Ingenious and festive!) We’ll meet at the library, lower level.
Attached is a photo of our lovely raffle quilt displayed on a new traveling quilt rack made by Jim DiRenzo. Thanks to all of you who helped out selling raffle tickets, proceeds now stand at $880.00

We are looking forward to sharing news of our happenings of the past year with all Wayne Library Association Members. Please join us in this annual celebration. Lower Level at the library.
As Mika asks her father to hold each and every one of her found treasures, he, in turn, urges her to be a big girl and only carry what she is able to. With every step and stumble, Mika finds both the wonders and treasures of nature, and the ability to pick herself up after a fall. But the true discovery for both daughter and parent comes at the end, when they both realize a true treasure is a hand to hold.
