Firefighters admire bookstore wares

An unfortunate incident, a fall, triggered a 911 call on Feb. 17. While the paramedics were doing their assessments, a few firemen walked into the bookstore-boutique and, as often happens, found something they didn’t know they needed, coffee mugs, and happily bought several for the fire station.

The fallen volunteer did not have to go to the hospital and happily went home under the watchful eye of her husband.

Meanwhile, in the boutique, the volunteers have been busy creating attractive displays of items for the St. Patrick’s day and Easter holidays.

Profits from the store go to the LW Library for the benefit of LW Library patrons. The Friends donate funds to college scholarships to train future librarians and technicians. The bookstore has no paid employees and is totally operated with volunteer workers and managed with a volunteer board.

The Friends of the Library is a perfect place to find gifts, gift bags and cards. Donations of books, puzzles and knickknacks enrich the LW community in many ways.
