Starbucks donated coffee and Panera sandwiches for a few of our tightly booked authors, who needed to eat on the way to another presentation. Von’s donated a gift card that was greatly appreciated.
Beautiful mums were donated by Speciality Plants, Inc. and created quite a first impression when visitors entered the library.
