Save the date: Farewell to Ms. Cindy, Tuesday, July 23rd, 5:30 pm, at the branch!

This month’s big news is that Ms. Cindy, our beloved children’s librarian, is retiring in July. The Friends are collecting reminiscences - please email us or message through FB with your message or story for Ms. Cindy. We also welcome photos and ideas for party activities. We’ll organize the photos and tributes into a keepsake book. Please mark your calendar to come to her farewell party (or stop by earlier that day if more convenient).

The Friends will not meet in June; our next meeting is July 16. We also plan to host an ice cream social later in the summer: stay tuned for details (and send us any ideas!).

Also: recent messages to our Friends who use Comcast email addresses have been rejected. If you are one of those Friends, we want to stay in touch!
