WISHLIST 2023

Well, it is budget time in the library.  We have sent out our annual appeal letters and we thank you for your generous response.  We assure you that we will send out only one letter, but this year we are going to post a wishlist on our website, an opportunity for you to underwrite some of the services we offer.  We will acknowledge the gift in a visual way at the library and on this web page.  The list also allows you to see some of the costs of library operations
