Congratulations Thomas Kinney, the winner of the $25 gift card to An Unlikely Story bookstore (and gift shop) in Plainville. Tom Kinney has been a longtime member of the Friends of the Mansfield Library. The raffle for the gift card was open to anyone who renewed their membership by May 1st and we thank all of you who sent in their membership forms and donations.

Everyone needs a Friend!--and even though the raffle is over, it is never too late to renew your membership or become a new member. Without your loyalty and continued support, we would not be able to supplement the library's budget.

You can also help us raise funds by visiting our special book sale on Saturday, June 13, from 10am to 1pm in the library's front lobby. We now take Venmo, too. Public Library
