​Friends of the Library


 Volunteers of all types needed. from cleaning to restocking and organizing the shelves. They are hoping to replace older library stock with more classics. They will be asking volunteers to write down time spent at the library so they can keep track of hours worked in any capacity so the library could qualify for grants. They will be contacting other libraries for exchange of current stock and asking for hard bound copies as donations. They also welcome donations from the community of hard bound books.

There are old and out of date Romance novels on a shelf near the front door.  Take as many as you want.  There is also a table with NEW ARRIVALS - check them out.
  Reminder hours are Saturday 10-1

Lakeview Cemetery Project

Picture
Have you been out to the Lakeview Cemetery?  There are so many beautiful areas and history that is told with each headstone.  With all the recent interest in genealogy, people are turning to old town cemeteries to help trace their backgrounds.   Renee Sari (and several others) has graciously been spending her time gathering information on the townspeople who have chosen Lakeview as their final resting place.  Unfortunately, after much time, it has been discovered that 200 graves do not have markers of any kind.  Some of the markers have been destroyed by weather over the years while others might not have had a marker to begin with.  The Cemetery Project is attempting not only to discover who is resting at each place but also to gather enough in donations to mark each grave.  (Documents are being assembled at the museum, just ask.)  At this point 77 names have been confirmed out of the 200.  As the donations come in, these names will have a marble slab with their name engraved placed inside a cement marker.  Several people in the area have volunteered their skills to make this happen.  The "Gone but Not Forgotten" Dance was a nice start to get the donations started, however, more is still needed.  Anything you could donate would be appreciated.  Please either drop off your donations at the museum, or send it to:
