Today is the last day of the Friends of the Wales Public Library Book Sale!

In a year when the library’s expense line of the budget has been reduced by nearly 44%, the support of our Friends group means more than ever. The time and effort they put into fundraising and supporting our library makes a tremendous difference in what we are able to offer our community. And their generosity extends beyond the library, as a portion of the funds they raise also goes toward an annual scholarship for a local student.

And the Friends aren’t finished celebrating just yet!

This Saturday, October 24, they’re throwing a birthday party for Winnie the Pooh’s 100th birthday! 🍯🐝 Join the festivities anytime between 9 AM and noon for a visit from a special guest beekeeper, honey samples, birthday treats, games, and a little birthday fun for all ages! The Friends are also holding a raffle, so be sure to check out the prizes while you’re here.

🎃 And one more thing! Our Halloween Costume Exchange has been extended through October 31! There’s still time to find a costume or share one that another family can enjoy.

We appreciate our Friends all year long, but during National Friends of Libraries Week, be sure to take a moment to thank them for everything they do! Our little library is a better place because of their generosity, hard work, and dedication to our community. 🧡

We have two very special readers to celebrate! 📚❤️

These two sisters have both reached new milestones in our 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program! It’s wonderful to see them growing up surrounded by books, sharing stories, and making reading part of their childhood.

Congratulations to both girls! Every book is another step toward 1,000, and we’re so happy to celebrate these special moments with you. Keep reading! ❤️

What a wonderful evening of Gothic Ghost Tales by Candlelight at the Wales Public Library!

A big thank you to the Wales Cultural Council for sponsoring tonight’s program and to Waterfall Productions & Rita Parisi for sharing an evening of wonderfully spooky stories with us! Rita brought these haunting tales to life and gave us a perfect way to enjoy a little Halloween spirit.

And of course, thank you to everyone who joined us this evening! It was wonderful to see everyone come out, settle in, and enjoy a night of ghost stories together. We hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did! 🕯️

Sometimes it’s the kindness and generosity of our little community that reminds us just how fortunate we are. 🩷

We hadn’t been able to make it to the post office during their open hours for a little while, so imagine our surprise when we finally picked up our packages! Several wonderful people had purchased items from our library’s wish list, and we are absolutely overwhelmed by their thoughtfulness!

Among the surprises were a beautiful new cabinet and table, both of which will be wonderful additions to our library. Neither package included the donor’s name, and we would so appreciate the opportunity to thank you personally! If you purchased either of these items, please let us know, unless, of course, you would prefer to remain anonymous. Whether we learn who you are or not, please know how grateful we are for your kindness. These are things that will be used and appreciated for years to come, and it means so much that someone thought enough of our little library to make that possible.

We also want to extend a very heartfelt thank you to Allan S. for his incredible generosity and kindness toward our library. Allan, your thoughtfulness and support mean more than words can express, and we are so fortunate to have people like you who believe in what we’re doing and want to help us succeed.

And another heartfelt thank you to the wonderful patron who donated a Kindle e-reader! We are so grateful for your generosity. The Kindle will soon be joining our Library of Things collection, giving our patrons another wonderful resource to borrow and enjoy.

Like so many small-town libraries, we are continually finding ways to do more with less. Unfortunately, a recent budget cut is making it a little more challenging, but that hasn’t changed our commitment to growing, improving, and finding new ways to serve our community.

What makes a small library special are the people who believe in it, support it, and recognize just how much a library can mean to a community.

We have worked incredibly hard to bring new life to this little library, and we’re determined to keep that momentum going, even with fewer resources. Donations like these help us stretch every dollar a little further, improve our space, and offer things we might not otherwise be able to provide.

But beyond the practical value of these gifts, there’s something even more meaningful in knowing that people care enough about their library to help it grow.

To Allan, to our anonymous donors, to the kind woman who donated the Kindle, and to everyone who continues to support this little library, thank you. You are part of what makes this library so special, and we are deeply grateful for every bit of kindness you have shown us. 🩷
