Residents and Library Committee members developed this year’s wish list. In recognition of our efforts, several residents asked to donate specific titles from the list. The Committee purchased the bulk of the books with funds from the 1666 Coffman Association, book cart sales and generous financial gifts from residents. Find these books shelved in their permanent shelving locations as shown below in bold type. If you borrow these or other library materials please sign them out.
