Dear Community Member and Keytesville Alumni,
Have you read a good book lately? Have you been to the Keytesville Library to see the large collection available which has something for everyone? Young children have a very inviting area with a variety of books and materials. The Library offers youths and adults a very good selection of books, periodicals, research materials, audio books, movies and games for all interests. Computers have also been added for communication, research, and genealogy searches.
For the past 70 years, the Keytesville Library has been fortunate to have the support of individuals, members and non-members of the library association who donate books, periodicals, audio books and movies. However, the expense of operating the library has also increased which exceeds the proceeds derived from the Annual Plant and Bake Sale; therefore, the Library Board is planning another fundraiser this year.
The first St. Patrick’s Day Bake Sale will be held at the Library on Wednesday, March 17, beginning at 7:30 a.m. until all items are gone. We are asking for your support by providing a baked item for the Bake Sale, purchasing sale items, or if you prefer, making a monetary donation. For your convenience, non-perishable baked items may be brought to the Library the Tuesday afternoon prior to the Bake Sale from 2-4 p.m. Your support is greatly appreciated.
I hope that you will take the opportunity to visit the library on any Monday, Wednesday or Friday to see what is available to you.
Sincerely,
The Keytesville Library Board Association
