This we are collecting donations for two local organizations. We are once again collaborating with Adult Protective Services to collect items for senior gift baskets. Come in, select tags for the items you wish to purchase and donate, and return the items to the library by December 9 at 7:00 pm. We are also collecting donations for the Morrow County Dog Shelter & Humane Society of Morrow County, as they are our partners at our Christmas Open House this year. We will be collecting pet related donations throughout the month of December.
Each item donated from either Giving Tree earns you an entry into our Christmas basket giveaways. We have 6 gift baskets -- place your entry/entries into the container for the basket you want to try to win.
Thank you in advance for your generosity this giving season.
