US Government Document of the Month for May!

Available to all patrons are government documents on the Budget of the United States.  These make interesting reading in light of the current crisis in Congress and the threat of a government shut-down! Please see the Government Documents display on the First Floor for several bound volumes and directions to online resources.

Food For Fines - May 1-20th

Have you received a fine notice for an item returned late within the last 30 days?  You have an opportunity to clear up to $10 in fines between now and May 20th.  Just bring in up to 5 canned good items (each can is worth $2) and watch your fine disappear! Plus you'll know your donation is going to feed hungry families in our community!  A win-win, really!
