Hey Friends!

If you ordered a wreath from us this year, the weather may delay delivery! We will know more tomorrow, but we might have to wait until Tuesday.

Thank you so much for your support and stay safe out there!

From our family to yours, we hope you have a day filled with laughter and joy (and no indigestion!)

Happy Thanksgiving! We're grateful for Friendship.

Hey friends!

Looking for a cute thanksgiving decoration? We have you covered! Stop by the library to pick up a Take and Make Turkey! Instructions are provided, but we thought it might be helpful to see it happen on video!!

We’re here Tuesday through Saturday 12-5 (closed on thanksgiving!)

From all of us at the Friendship Free Library to all of you who bravely sacrificed to serve our country, we thank you.

Happy Veteran's Day
