The Great Give Back
This year, the library will be supporting “Sleep in Heavenly Peace” for our community wide donation drive. SHP is a volunteer organization that builds beds for kids (ages 3-17) who are sleeping on the floor. From Sept. 15 through Oct. 15, the library will be collecting new (in original packaging) twin sheet sets, comforters, and pillows.
Children’s or teen-themes are appropriate, as are solid colors. In addition, we’ll also be collecting funds to build beds. For more ways to be involved, visit www.shpbeds.org. Thank you in advance, for your generosity.
