knowledge of the grave sites.

Open House At Chesley Memorial
Library Submitted By Donna Bunker, Chesley ML, Northwood
The
Chesley Memorial Library staff and trustees along with the Friends
of the Northwood Libraries invite you to attend an Open House on
Saturday, September 15, from 12:00-2:00 pm. The Friends will proudly
unveil the new library sign during this time.
They worked hard
for many, many months to raise funds to purchase the sign.
Library patrons, residents, and local businesses also showed their
support by donating to the sign fund so their joint efforts will be
honored at the Open House.
The library will also be
celebrating National Library Card Sign-Up Month so plan to sign up
for a new library card if you don’t have one, use your card if you
already have one, and/or get a free replacement card if needed… And
enjoy light refreshments at the same time!
