The tree is scheduled to be put up the day after Thanksgiving and decorated by the Friends of the Library. Patrons will have the opportunity to choose a tag with a gift wish on it that will benefit either our Seniors, the North Plains Food Pantry, or Veterans and their pets. Please put the gifts in a gift bag with the tag firmly attached to the outside of the bag and return it to the library by December 16th.

The November and December Art Display features a quilt by Kate Sundusky. Here's what they have to say about their quilt "The Holiday Quilt was taken from the Tole Christmas pattern which was designed by Gina Martin. I used a jelly role with 40 strips of various Christmas prints and added additional fabrics from my stash. It measures 53 1/2 by 53 1/2. This was a fun quilt to work on during the winter months. Love the brightness and colorful fabrics. Completed in 2018."
