Just in Time
for the Holidays! Buy a unique hand knit gift and help benefit YPL. Donations welcome. Starting in early December, the library's knitters will be selling small hand knit items, such as hats, mittens, socks, and scarves, to benefit the library. We welcome donations from anyone in the community. Hand knit baby things, cuddly creatures, novelty items, and tree ornaments are welcomed as well. If you're interested, please bring your hand knit donations to the library. We ask that you label your items with your name, size, yarn content, and any relevant washing instructions, and we thank you in advance for helping to support YPL. ________________ 
Food for Fines
Food for Fines is back! Thank you for thinking of your neighbors. From now until December 30th YPL is accepting non-perishable food items in lieu of fines. $1 in fines will be forgiven, up to $10, for each usable item. Food collected will be donated to the Yarmouth Food Pantry. (The Pantry will not accept items that are within three months of their sell-by date.) This offer does not apply to lost or damaged items. You do not need to owe a fine to donate! Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving! _______________ Hold Time For E-materials
