The books were all so interesting and many Ladies present wrote down book titles. The Library has many books on King Tutankhamun and Egypt.

The Library is such a special place, the heart of our city, we urge all of our residence to support our treasure house of books by becoming a member. The dues - $ 2.00 a year, how nice it would be for each member of a family to join. Your membership helps the Library to purchase those books most asked for or needed in the community. May I say "thank you" for your generous heart. Easter will be earlier this year year, I wish you all Blessings this holy season. Delma Peery. President.
