There’s a book for that!

Dear Editor:

Have questions about planting? There is a BOOK for that.

Looking for new and different recipes? There is a BOOK for that. Need quiet "me" time? There is a BOOK for that. All these books and many more are in the Delta Library Bookstore. This bookstore was an idea developed by the Friends of the Library. The library gets so many donations of books throughout the year, that one annual book sale wasn't enough to meet the demands of all the donations. Thus, the Delta Library Bookstore was born. The foundation of the bookstore is strictly on donation: what people can give (if even a very small amount), instead of paying a set price for a specific book or magazine. They are trying to help raise money (on a continuous level) to cover the shortfall in the library's budget this year, and years to come. One of the Delta Library's staff members, Christian Eggstaff, kicked off the opening of the library last Christmas with tons of organization and a marketing campaign. Great work Christian! Then volunteer Kris Huff has taken off with organizing the bookstore and does AMAZING work keeping it in good order. A BIG thank you to Kris! She has and continues to do a fantastic job!

The Delta Library along with all the Delta County Libraries is in need of support. Our libraries are such a huge asset and are consistently used by all generations. I am writing this to make more people aware of this great bookstore in our Delta Library and the fact that we are using it to raise funds. The bookstore is in the downstairs of the library off of the children's area and is open when the library is open: Monday –Thursday 10-7, Friday 10-6, and Saturday 10-4. Thank you!
