Library Events for August 2012

Veggie Swap on Tuesdays @ the Hancock Town Library

Don’t forget! If you have a little too much of something (vegetables) in your garden this year, bring some (not too much!) of the extra to the library on Tuesdays (we’re open from 10 – 7). Others may be looking for just that item for dinner! We’ll put them on the front desk and see what happens. If no one needs them, we’ll make sure the extras get taken to the food bank in Peterborough. Thank you!
