50th Anniversary and Summer Learning Celebration

Sunday, June 12 - 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

To celebrate our 50 years, Friends held a huge book sale behind the Downtown Library at 1044 Middlefield Road. All books at the sale were 50 cents to honor our 50 years. Honey also was sold and a raffle for great prizes generated ten lucky/happy winners!

For this celebration, Youth Services joined us to celebrate the start of the Summer Learning Challenge. Summer Learning is the largest program Friends funds each year. It was exciting to honor both our anniversary and the kickoff to our Library's biggest annual event.
