Please note where Ole Inchy has gotten ! ! ! Over $5,500 thanks to efforl, S of our faithful Friends of the Library AND some wonderful donations from some wonderful folks. We especially want to thank the Levine Foundation for their annual and most generous donation which arrived last week. And, of course, we want to thank all those folks who helped with our fashion show of wedding dresses through the ages which took place Nov. 30th at the First Baptist Church. Not only was the show lovely to look at and interesting (all that wonderful history that came with each of the dresses) but, also, very well attended (over 100 people came out to see it) and financially rewarding with over $300 raised to help light the lights, etc. We feel special thanks are due Joyce Meador and Juanita Sawyers for coordinating the whole lovely affair and who have promised to do another for us perhaps next year! Our Dec. books sale, which is now in progress, is, also, proving to be a big hit and a financial success. We seem to have collected some extremely nice books this year and are continuing to receive dona- tions all the time. Some of these books look as if they have never been : read; and would make excellent Christmas presents. For example - Michener's ~ and Alaska are both available at $5.00 each in a 'e'|ike-new condition. There have been some not so new but still wonderful =classics" among the childrens books - things like Twenty Thousand IJea~ues Under the Sea. And we still have about halfa box of sci-fi paperbacks at 10 cents each. The good ones are going fast, however, so yould best waste no time getting yours ! ! l ! Finally, we wish to note the addition of two beautiful new children's books to our collection. Grandfather Twilight has been given to the Library in memory of Christopher Briers by Karla and Richard Gunnoe and ~ given in memory of Hallie Cobb by her great grandchildren. Both of these lovely volumes will be used and enjoyed by children here for years to come. Surely, there can be no more fitting memorial to a little boy and a beloved great grandmother then these.
