Get Your Winter Reading Ready

   Trade a summer read for a winter one!  The Hackensack Lending Library is in its waning days of a successful 21st summer.  If you hurry and come on a Saturday from 10:00-2:00 you can still check out your winter reading until the end of September.

   This summer, in addition to providing our community with a treasure trove of good summer reads for check out, the library also sold handmade book bags and “Grab Bag Books.”

   The  19 library volunteers greeted 3,115 visitors this summer, checked out 1,787 books, and invested 360 hours from June 1-Sept.  We’re always looking for interested, committed volunteers.  If this is something that appeals to you, please contact Maggie McGill, 515-210-9028 or [email protected].
