HAPPY 115TH ! At this time the collection is still being

compiled but watch our website as

things will start appearing soon!

Raina Roloff, Library Director

T he library is 115 years old this

year! We are collecting library

related history for a digital dis-

play. There will be a page on our

website dedicated to the history of the

library.

We are asking the com-

munity for their history

that we could add to this

collection. If you have

pictures, documents, or

other related items involv-

ing the library’s history,

we would love to see

them! We’ll scan the item

and add it to our website.

The library in the 1960’s.

The library was a recipient of a LIBRI Foundation Books for Children grant

this month.

This grant contains a collection of new hardcover children's books with a

value of $1,051.95.

The LIBRI Foundation is a nationwide non-profit

organization that donates new children's books to

small rural libraries in the US.

To find out more about this foundation see their

website: www.librifoundation.org.

Thanks, LIBRI Foundation!

If minds are truly alive they will seek out books, for books are the human race recounting

its memorable experiences, con-fronting its problems, searching for

solutions, drawing the blueprints of it futures.

Loved It! I’m buying the T-shirt!

Liked It. I’ll tell a few friends about it.

Didn’t like it. Makes great background noise.

Hated it. Would rather wash my hair.

I could watch this with my Grandma.

SUPPORT YOUR LIBRARY! If you already shop or purchase gas at Kwik Trip, you’re half-way to support-

ing our library.

It’s an easy program. Simply purchase the Kwik Trip

cards at the library for $50 or $100 (face value) and

Kwik Trip donates 10% of the proceeds to our library.

That’s a great deal! And there’s no extra cost to you!

So far, the library has received $2258.00 from this program!

A good portion of our funding comes from the community here in the North

Freedom area. Throughout the year we have books sales and bake sales

and the Kwik Trip card program is just one more opportunity to give a little

something back to our library.

Where does the money go? Among other things:

materials

maintenance

and just keeping our library in business!

Thank you for your support!!

The man who does not

read good books has no

advantage over the man

who can't read them.

- Mark Twain
