Mineola Memorial Library Notes

Posted

Last weekend we celebrated 63 years in our N. Pacific location. Jeff D. Hurley offered a program on the history of the Mineola Memorial Library based in part on a thesis written by Lou Wagner, research by Lou Mallory, and information he gleaned from other sources. We thank all those who attended, Jeff for the presentation and the Wood County Monitor for their story. If you didn’t get to stop by for the program, you can still stop by and visit the library – maybe even check out some books or movies.

April 7 will be the date of the Spring Bake Sale at City National Bank (200 N. Pacific) with the proceeds benefitting the library. The Easter Bunny will be at CNB after 2 p.m. that day for pictures ($10 each). Need something for family coming in for the Easter holiday? This is a place to get some great homemade goods and support a local non-profit.

Did you know you can write a review of a book you have borrowed from our library? Log into your library account, look up the book you read in our catalog, click the review button about halfway down the entry. Write your review then submit it. As long as the comments are not profanity laced, most reviews are accepted. You may choose to publish your name or handle or leave that option blank to remain anonymous.

Remember, the Mineola Memorial Library is a 501(c)3, non-profit and your donations may be tax-deductible.
