The 2021 winter basket raffle continues until 1 p.m. March 19.

We will draw our winners March 20 and will call to let them know. Winners have a week to pick up their basket.

Some of the baskets are baby baskets, cozy basket, “going to grandma’s house,” COVID-19 basket, book stacks and more.

Thank you to all who supported the library.

We plan to do April and May basket raffles.
