The Black Widow Agency and Spun Tales, the second book in the series, just published in July, are available to check out and read now, before the program. Books will also be available for sale and signing at the program.
The Friends' Annual Meeting and the Grand Prize Drawing for the Library Quilt will precede the author program at 10:30 a.m. After the program, please plan to join us for a light luncheon and continuing conversation with Felicia and Friends.

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU--
OUR FIRST AUCTION WAS A GREAT SUCCESS!
The final tally isn't in yet, but by all accounts, the Auction was a great success--and judging by the buzz in the room, a good time was had by all. Attendees enjoyed fabulous food prepared and served by the Todaro Center, sublime music, great doorprizes, and over 60 wonderful auction items. Thanks go out to the Friends of the Library, Library staff and Trustees, Auctioneer Monie Zarinsky, and the Auction Committee for lots of hard work and dedication to the cause. Special thanks too, to all of the generous donors of goods and services, and of course to all of you bidders who came out to support the library. THANK YOU, ALL!

FOL Raffle Grand Prize Drawing September 2oth
Come in to the Hamel Meeting Room and see the spectacular quilt that the Friends of the Library are raffling off to help raise funds for a new library! Co-Director Lindalee Lambert and former library Trustee Marsha Hunter worked "together apart" to create an original work of art that calls to mind the lake, the woods, the seasons, our town, and of course, our library. The handmade quilt, measuring 80" x 104", is 100% cotton and can be machine washed and dried. Tickets are $5.00 apiece or three for $10.00, and available at the library circulation desk or from any FOL Board member. The drawing for the Library Quilt will be held Saturday, September 20th at the Friends' Annual Meeting.
