Look for the Friends this month at community events.

This month the Friends are hosting a table at the Burbank Grange's Bazaar on October 27th from 9:00 am-3:00 pm.  The address is 44 Fourth Avenue.  The Friends will have books and movies for sale as well as their Friends' book bags.

On Halloween night you will find the Friends at the Trunk-or-Treat at the high school from 6-7:30 pm.  The Elementary PTO sponsors this event.  The Friends will be dressed as cowgirls and will be passing out candy and library information.  Children pay $1 dollar to participate.  There will be a pumpkin carving contest and chili,  chips and hot cocoa for sale.  Any community member can donate candy prior to the event at the elementary school.

The Friends handed out free books at the Fire Prevention festivities earlier this month.  They reminded families about free books for young children through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.  Families in Burbank and Wallula are eligible to receive free books through the mail by registering at www.imaginationlibrary.com/usa.  Children must be 0-4 years of age.
