2nd Annual Golf Tournament a Success!
Library supporters braved the heat Sunday, July 11 and raised over $4500 at our annual golf tournament. The funds that were raised will go towards improving our Teen, Tween and Children's programs.
We would like to thank everyone who supported us again this year. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. We look forward to seeing you out on the golf course next year!!
