A Friend's Story:

Lewis and Clark Library Branch customer, Mrs. Cheryll Edwards, purchased a Friends membership for a deserving, young reader, to be selected by the Library staff. A student who regularly visits the Library after school, was thrilled to receive the gift membership. We appreciate the generosity which led Mrs. Edwards to put another’s needs before her own. Her gift truly demonstrates the spirit of giving.

 
We thank each and everyone of our friends for their generous support.
