On Friday, February 14th, the Friends of the Library hosted their 4th Annual Valentine’s Day Quilt and Basket Raffle.  This year’s successful event raised over $1400 to support our upcoming 2020 Summer Reading Program for area kids.  Baskets were donated by members of the Friends group and the library board, while the handmade quilt was created by Janelle Kelleher.  Seed money for the project came from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
