December News

We very much appreciate your ongoing support of Moon Lake Community Library, one of our area’s most valuable resources. Please join us at our annual Holiday Open House on Sunday, December 15, from 3 until 5 p.m. Bring your holiday cheer and community spirit, and spend time socializing with your neighbors. We want to thank you for your support throughout the year and give newcomers a chance to get to know the library. Refreshments will be served. Area businesses have generously donated a variety of wonderful door prizes, and author Ann Rutland will read from her delightful children’s book, The Happy Life of Christopher Tree.

The Christmas village, which Mentone resident Mickey Luck constructed for the library many years ago, is currently on display. Children, especially, are enchanted by the scene, which features the Yuletide train as it passes through the village.

We’re looking forward to another vibrant year in 2020 and invite you to be a “Friend of Moon Lake Library.” Friends are vital to the ongoing success of our community library. Your financial donation directly supports our ability to meet our expenses of book and DVD purchases, utility bills, wireless internet, librarian’s salary, catalog software, furnishings, and supplies.

Our book sales alone do not meet our expenses, so our budget is very limited. The future of Mentone’s community library depends on the financial support of the community in order to survive…and thrive.

This year, we are offering “perks” to our Friends. Those who donate $100 or more will be offered one of our new tote bags and your choice of five free books from our sale shelves. Those who donate between $25 and $99 may purchase a discounted tote bag ($5) and select two free books from our sale shelves. Every donation makes a difference, and we want you to feel appreciated.
