The Unadilla Community Library would like to thank

Dean & Donna Speth for giving the Library a huge collection

of books by some of the patron's favorite authors. They are

currently being processed and will be on the shelves soon.

Peggy Leefers reminds us that the author for January is

Debbie Macomber and they have a large selection of her books.

New children's books include: "Cloudy with Meatballs", "Oh the

Places You'll Go", "Fancy Nancy and the Fabulous Fashion

Boutique", Christian the Lion", "The Giving Tree", and

"Where the Sidewalk Ends" (a book of poems and drawings

by Shel Silverstein.)

Anyone wishing to donate items for the flea market table

fundraiser for Groundhog Day can leave their items at the

Library during open hours or the Village Office.
