The Bookmarks are still available!

Our warmest thanks to all the young people who shared their artistry, imagination, and love of the Library by entering this year's Annual Bookmark Contest. It was dedicated to the theme "What I love about the Library!" and the contributions were so inspiring. We were delighted to receive 19 submissions and selected eight to be printed.  All 19 entries are displayed here.  So the next time you’re at the library, ask for one of the new bookmarks (they are free!!)!




Book bags for sale at the library. 
Besides being perfect for carrying library books and other media, they are great for shopping, travel and, in a pinch, laundry. AND, they tell the world about our beautiful library! If you forget this bag when you go to the library, look for the Boomerang Bags, reusable, returnable cloth book bags. 


SUPPORT

We welcome your donations and membership in FFNPL and your support of the work we do for the benefit of our library.
