Another great garden workday at the Gordon Public Library today! These ladies (and gents 😉) weeded garden beds, pulled dandelions, measured for new irrigation and sooo much more!

If you're loving the new look of the library with all its pretty plantings - hug a Wilkinson County Master Gardener today! 🌸🌱

On behalf of the entire Friends of the Gordon Library board, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our Bingo fundraiser!
It was truly an incredible evening! ✨️
We were blown away by the record-breaking crowd ~ and thanks to your enthusiastic participation, we were able to award some of our largest prize pots to date. 💰
More importantly, the energy in the room was a wonderful reminder of how much this community can achieve when we come together. 💕
Your support directly impacts our mission and ensures we can continue our work in the coming year. 🙏
Whether you bought a single card or played all night, you made the event a resounding success.🎉
Thank you for your generosity, your competitive spirit, and for making it a night to remember! 🎉 Stay tuned for another BINGO night soon!

🧱 BUY A BRICK, BUILD A FUTURE! 🧱

The Friends of the Gordon Library invites you to be a permanent part of our community’s story!

✨ We are launching our “Commemorative Brick” fundraiser project for the Gordon Public Library and we want YOU to join us!

Why join the foundation?
Your purchase funds the vital “extras” that tax dollars don’t cover:
☀️ Expanding children’s summer reading programs 🧒📚
💻 Upgrading library technology
🎉 Hosting exciting local events

Each customized brick will be installed in our beautiful new walkway—a lasting tribute to families, local businesses, or loved ones. ❤️

Whether you’re honoring a lifelong reader or promoting your business, your tax-deductible donation keeps our library a vibrant hub for generations to come! 🏛️💫

🎯 OUR GOAL: In a special tribute to National Family Literacy Day, we are aiming to lay 100 bricks by November 1, 2026.

Every brick ordered will be held until we hit that 100-brick milestone, ensuring our collective impact is felt all at once! 🤝🏗️

Help us celebrate the enduring power of literacy.
