The First Annual Library Lallapalooza and Book Bash was a roaring success! Many, many thanks to all who helped organize and donated to this event and to all who came to it! The fundraiser brought in around $4,900. We achieved our goal of generating seed money for a building and a little extra for supplies and rent for the year. For those of you who missed it, there was a fun and informative play, many wonderful musicians, excellent food, and delightful bargains in two silent auctions and one outcry auction. Bob Trigg brought two models of boats that John Trigg built. If you missed the fun this year, don't worry, there's always next year!
