July 2014 Newsletter
E-Newsletter Launch
Welcome to our very first e-newsletter for the month of July! Thank you for joining our email list. Every month our newsletter will highlight new arrivals (either new materials or new to our library), community programs, special events, and the potential book review or staff picks. We hope to keep surprising you. As we refine the style and type of newsletter we welcome your feedback about the structure and accessibility. We truly appreciate your patronage. Enjoy our monthly updates!
Thank You, Mary Cronk Farrell!
We would like to thank Mary Cronk Farrell for sharing her book on July 2. The author reading of Pure Grit: How WWII Nurses Survived Battle and Prison Camp in the Pacific drew a nice crowd, over 35 people attended! Thanks to Mary for visiting us and all who attended. We have her book at our library if you'd like to check it out.
