Friends of the Library invite all to the 53rd Annual Silver Tea, on Saturday December 6th, from noon to 3 p.m. at the Public Library.

The Library Meeting Room will be transformed by a lengthy table decorated for the season, laden with free cookies and small sandwiches and anchored at each end with pourers of coffee and tea from a silver tea service.

Bring your children if you would like for there is a special Children’s Table with treats created with them in mind. Festivities start in the lobby with a book sale of “like new” items that are good enough for gifts.

Musicians, crafts for the children and a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Claus at 1 p.m. will all be there.

In this way, the Friends of The Library say “thank you” to the community for supporting our Public Library.

Friends, family, kids, come all!

Thanks to Lief
