Our Annual Book, Bake, Craft and Mum Sale is Saturday, September 24th from 9AM to 2PM here at the Guilford Smith Memorial Library. We need help that day at the library. Even if you can only volunteer an hour, it makes a big difference! All volunteers will be given one of our brand new Guilford Smith Library shirts. They are dark green and have a beautiful picture of our library on the front. Please call the library and let us know if you can work that day selling books or baked goods! All of our volunteers get pizza at noon from Apollo Pizza.
