Library Food Drive - December 2011
Please join our library staff as we help the local Food Pantry restock their shelves this month. Items collected will be given to the C.A.L.L. food pantry. C.A.L.L. stands for Community Action Life Line and serves all Mercer County residences in need of assistance. Any and all non-perishable food items and paper products are appreciated. The pantry specifically is in need of the following items: Cake Mixes, Canned Meats, Canned Pastas, Ketchup, Pastas, Peanut Butter, Soups and Personal Care Items. Next time you're coming to the library, bring a non-perishable item with you and drop it in the box by the front desk. Thank you for your help.

Sadly, the Mercer County District Library said good-bye to one of its own on November 25th. Janet Schmackers had been the Head Librarian of the Zahn-Marion Branch for the past 30 years. She was a long-time friend and co-worker, and her ever present smile and enthusiasm will be sorely missed.
