The Friends of the Seymour Library hosted another very successful book sale in late April. The Friends raised over $2,800, which will fund library programs benefitting the Seymour Library and the Summer Reading Program. Thank you all who came, browsed, purchased, and re-homed some fantastic books. A huge thanks to everyone who donated their gently used books for this purpose. The Friends will host its second book sale of the year in October. Please stay tuned for more details!
