A successful book drive and CEL holiday closure

Dear CEL members and volunteers,

The last of the book donations were delivered this morning and that means our 6th Annual CEL Children’s Book Drive is completed for the year!
674 books were donated to 6 local organizations that support children and families! I‘d call that a big success!

The different directors of these organizations all said how grateful they are to get books again this year. Every one of them told me how much the kids and families have enjoyed and used the books from previous years. It was really heartwarming to hear that we are really doing something good for these kids and for our community. I hope it warms your hearts, too.

Thank you all so much for donating books, telling friends and neighbors about our book drive, and especially for helping us to do something good in memory of Henry. ❤️

The CEL will be open this Friday December 20th. The library will be closed from Saturday December 21st until January 6th. Normal opening hours resume on Friday January 10th.

Happy Holidays and Happy Reading,
The CEL Board
