Thank you to Salerno’s Pizza, Mcgaffer Joe’s, Jimmy’s Place and Zambone’s for donating the pizzas for this library event.
The Friends of the Forest Park Public Library would like to remind folks that with the holidays coming, a nice way to remember family and friends is to donate a book to the library. For as little as $15, you can celebrate a birthday, anniversary, wedding, or other event. We will identify the book so that everyone who uses it will have a permanent reminder of your generosity. Applications are available at the library.
As always, we look forward to seeing you at the library.
Information for Library Lines is contributed by the Forest Park Public Library.
