💛📚 Thank You, Hollis 📚💛

Despite the rain, our Book, Bake & Craft Sale was filled with warmth, connection, and incredible community spirit. We’re so grateful for the turnout, the generosity, and the shared love for our library — it truly made the day a success.

A special thank you to our amazing volunteers:

✨ Ava and Jillian, seniors at Bonny Eagle High School, who have helped for years and once again took the lead organizing the children’s books — we’ll miss you and wish you all the best as you head off to college!
✨ Paula, Dawn, Jayden, and Alex for hauling and sorting books
✨ Diane and Steve from Hollis Center Church, Jess (BEHS teacher), and Carol Niles for their time and support

🍪 Our bake table was overflowing — from pies and rice crispies to fudge, cookies, and banana bread. Thank you to all of our bakers for sharing your time, talent, and ingredients so generously.

🛍️ To our vendors — thank you for showing up (rain and all!), bringing your beautiful work, and helping spread the word about the event. Your commitment means so much.

📚✨ Book Signing & Reading with Local Author S.C. Grimes ✨📚

Join us on Wednesday, May 6 from 5:00–7:00 PM at the Hollis Center Public Library for an evening with local author S.C. Grimes!

Come meet the author, purchase a copy of The Frye Journals, and stay for a live reading at 6:00 PM. Books will be available for signing, and the author accepts cash, check, and Venmo. Light refreshments will be served.

🖋️ About the Book:
The Frye Journals is a psychological thriller following Frederick Frye, a nobleman cursed to never see his own face; not in mirrors, portraits, or any form. As he searches for a cure, the world around him begins to unravel, with restless spirits, intensifying nightmares, and a cast of peculiar characters who may help… or hinder his quest. One question lingers above all: what happens if he is forgotten entirely?

Whether you’re a thriller fan or just love supporting local authors, this is an event you won’t want to miss.
