February 2017
Thank You, Karen and Don!
The Upper Skagit Library would like to thank everyone who attended the children's book event, My Name is Twirp Author Reading. We appreciate the time and thoughtful effort of author Karen Smith and illustrator Don Smith. They've published a children's book to benefit the library that appeals to the young, young at heart, pet lovers, and library lovers alike. You are making our library stronger, thank you! Purchase the book locally at 5b's Bakery or Northwest Garden Bling. And, find it on Amazon. Proceeds directly benefit the new library project.
Visit Upper Skagit Library Foundation to learn more about our future home on east Main Street Concrete, formerly the Legion Hall.
