Angel Tree


Come by the Library and choose an angel from the tree. On the back of each angel is a prize that will be given out during summer reading 2007. If you would like to ensure that a child receives one of these prizes this summer pay the dollar amount to the Friends. Make checks payable to the Friends of the Burbank Library and your donation will be tax deductible. There are also a few angels with a picture of the projector that the Friends recently helped purchase for the Library. Feel free to choose one of these as well; you can specify the amount you would like to give.
