We are having an Easter basket raffle.  Tickets may be purchased from board members or at the circulation desk.  Tickets are $1 apiece.  There will be one adult basket filled with flowers that can serve as a centerpiece for your Easter dinner (and then planted outside after), and one children’s Easter basket filled with Easter goodies!  The children’s Easter basket is on display at the circulation desk.  The drawing will be held on Friday April 14.

We are holding a Mobil gas card raffle!  Tickets can be purchased from any library board member or staff as well as at the circulation desk.  Tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5.  First prize is a $100 gas card at Mobil and second prize is a $50 Mobil gas card.  The drawing will be held on May 1st. With the gas prices rising, won’t it be wonderful to win our raffle?

Proceeds from both raffles will go to help fund our Madison County Bicentennial celebration.  Details on that will follow soon.

The E.R. Andrews students have their art on display in the library’s program room.  Stop in during library hours and view the magnificent exhibit.  It will be on display until Friday. 

Kiddies Korner will be back on Tuesday April 11 learning about Easter.   Bring your toddler or preschooler in for stories, activities and an Easter Egg Hunt!  All the fun begins at 10:30am.   If you can’t make it that day, join them for frogs on April 25.

The Friends of the Library are having their annual meeting on Tuesday April 11 at 7pm.  All new and old Friends members as well as any one interested in being a Friend are welcome and encouraged to attend.  Election of officers will take place.  Refreshments will be served.

Join us for Family Bingo night on Friday April 14 at 6:30pm in the library’s program room.  All kids are guaranteed a prize and adults play for fun.  Be sure to join us this month as we will be taking a break from bingo for a few months.  Refreshments will be provided.

The Board of Trustees are meeting on Tuesday April 18 at 6:30pm in the program room.  The public is welcome to attend.

Todd Slabaugh has been gracious enough to share his rare Brazilian insect collection with us.  This beautiful exhibit is on display now in the program room.  Mr. Slabaugh will be in to discuss his findings and answer any questions about the insects on Monday April 24 at 7pm.  Stop in and view the display and ask away!

Jennifer Forward’s cow collection is on display in the front foyer.  Be sure to view them upon entering or leaving the building!
