NEW THIS MONTH
 

Book Drive
During January and February we are entering a contest with GOTBOOKS and will get a bonus of 10% of the weight collected from our GOTBOOKS bin. You can help us earn that bonus and keep old materials, (books, audios, videos, cd's, paperbacks, records and textbooks) out of the landfill. Remember that the library collects new, usable or saleable books, textbooks, dvd's and paperbacks for our collection or for the annual Friends of the Fiske Library booksale. If you don't think your material would benefit us, PLEASE use the bin at the rear of the parking lot. (NO encyclopedias, moldy books, magazines or phone books can be placed in the bin!!)  THANKS AS ALWAYS.
