Re: March Library Activities and Update

See the attached March Activities Schedule just received that includes many interesting programs for children and adults. If you have questions about any details call the library at 214-670-1350.

Next Sunday, the 15th, we will have our monthly Book Sale from 2:00 to 4:00. Neighbors have been donating books for the sales so we have a nice collection priced to fit the economy. Please continue dropping off books in the white tub under our Friends exhibit table at the library entrance. Children’s books in particular are always needed.
The AARP Free Income Tax Help program will be held every Tuesday from noon to 4 p.m. thru the April 15th filing deadline. There is no age restriction so if you need assistance you are welcome. Bring your W-2, Form And any other tax information to fill in your form and a copy of your previous year’s tax return.
We are in the process of developing an Audelia Library Friends Website with the help of Ed Ferguson, one of our members who has volunteered to be our web administrator. Google has a free website available to non-profit organizations. We will let you know as soon as it is up and running so that you can access information about library activities more easily anytime you wish information.
The library will be used for early voting again in April.
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
