LIBRARY NEWS
August 14th is Acworth’s Old Home Day and the Library’s Annual Book Sale. We have received some donations, but would like more, so clean out those bookshelves. We would like clean books in good condition. No periodicals, magazines, textbooks, encyclopedias or old reference books, please. Then, on the 14th we need book lovers of all ages to stop by and pick up a few new books at bargain prices.
In addition to a Bake Sale on Old Home Day, we invite Acworth residents to set up tables on the Library lawn to sell flea market items and/or arts and crafts. There is no charge for the space, but we would appreciate a phone call to let us know you will participate. Call us at 835-2150. Leave a message if we are not here.
The Library is always busier in the summer. We see our summer residents and visitors and see more parents and children visiting together. In the summer, we have more visits for computer use - there are lots of reasons to visit the library.
