Goodbye & thanks from "Jenny A."

I wanted to say thank you to all the kind people who have made me feel welcome here for the last two years.

I am returning to Portland's Salt Institute for Documentary Studies (www.salt.edu), and will also be helping out with www.LibraryThing.com.

Thank you for the thoughtful notes, gifts, and words of encouragement. Have a wonderful spring!

The Giant Spring Book Sale is almost here!

Each Spring the Falmouth Memorial Library holds a giant book sale filled with books, videos, and audio books that we have sorted into semi-logical groupings. These are a combination of items that have been donated and items that have been withdrawn from our collection. There's something for all ages and interests. Prices are extremely reasonable and get even more reasonable the last 2 hours of the sale. The sale will be held Saturday, April 28 from 9:30 am until 5 pm. There is also a sneak preview especially for current members of our Friends group on Friday, April 27 from 4 to 6 pm. Friends get in free. Others may also enter for a $5 per person donation. All proceeds benefit the Falmouth Memorial Library. Hope you can make it!
