Help the friends of the Library - Help the Library
If you were lucky enough to receive a “free book” coupon at Descanso Parade or at the fair, but have not turned it in yet, we urge you to do so this month. If you didn’t get a coupon, it’s not too late. Just ask a Friends of the Descanso Library or drop into the library or bookstore and ask for one.
Every coupon deposited in the receptacle in the book store will earn a dollar at the end of the fundraising campaign. This is a great way to support activities, programs and features at your library.
Hope to see you soon,
Jo
