🖼️ We were so busy making art, that we forgot to take pictures! Here are a few of the creations at last night’s 20s and 30s Make and Manifest event.

💛 Thank you to everyone who attended. We hope to see you at the next 20s and 30s event!

❤️ This past weekend, we celebrated and honored the life of Ellen Wile, Vice President of the Palmetto Friends of the Library. Ellen was a force to be reckoned with and a dedicated advocate of the Palmetto Library.

📚 Ellen joined the Palmetto Friends in 2018, shortly after volunteering at the library. She was an avid reader, attended our monthly book club, created our brochures and newsletters, designed our first t-shirt, led our communications committee, and most importantly, she was a great friend. We will miss her dearly! 🤍

🌳 In memory of Ellen, the Friends have placed a gold leaf on the Giving Tree at the Palmetto Library.
