2017 MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN RESULTS With just a few weeks to go until the end of the campaign on June 30th, based upon past experience, it seems likely that we will once again fail to meet our $40,000 goal, as the total stood at only $37,565 on May 15th. To all who have contributed, our heartfelt thanks. If you had intended to give, but have not yet done so, now is the time to write your check; if you have already given, but could make an additional gift, that would be welcome as well. Please click here for a list of 2017 Campaign Donors. ------------------------------------------------------ The Summer Yardarm is here! ------------------------------------------------------

We an use your help! Book & Plant Donations (& Help) Needed for Annual Book & Plant Sale on Saturday, July 7th! BOOKS: Please DONATE your used books to the library for our annual Book Sale. Book donations will be accepted until June 23rd, only during library open hours. Some new 2018 titles can also supplement our library collection. We accept adult fiction and nonfiction, children’s books, gardening books, etc. We cannot accept textbooks, encyclopedias or videotapes. The more recent the publishing date the better for resale. This is especially true for diet, medical, and self-help books. People want to see current information. Books must be clean and free of dust and mildew. Because of limited space, please call ahead if you have large numbers of books. PLANTS: Named and labeled sun or shade. Delivered to the library July 5th or 6th. Help to beautify more Yarmouth Port gardens! Gently used gardening items — tools, planters, decor, etc. will also be accepted for resale. Call Sally Hockenbury at (508) 362-6045 if you need help digging up your plants. HELP: Before, during, and after the sale! Friday Afternoon, July 6th: Carry up books from the cellar and set up. Saturday, July 7th: Early: Carry books outside and set up. 9 AM - 2PM: Cashiers and general helpers • 2 PM: Help clean up. TO HELP: Sign up at the library in June. Coffee and Donuts on us! 
Annual Bulb Sale -- Benefits the library Throughout this spring and summer, we’ll be conducting our Annual Bulb Sale, a fundraiser which benefits the library and provides a great deal of convenience to you, our potential buyers. Fifty percent of every sale we make goes toward our Operating Budget, with your selection sent directly to your home in time for fall planting. Watch for our volunteers in a few weeks — we’ll be at a table near the circulation desk, and will also be selling at the July 7th Book & Plant Sale. Remember...
