Guilford Smith Memorial Library News - November 2023

October 29, 2023

What's happening at GSML?

- Our semi-annual Book & Bake Sale is happening on Saturday, November 18 from 9am-2pm. We will also be co-hosting a Craft Fair up at the South Windham Fire Department at the same time so make sure to check both out!
- We are still looking for interested individuals to help resume our Friends of the Library group. A Friends group will help us with fundraising, promoting, advocacy, and more. It can take as much or as little time as you can afford to contribute!
If you're interested, please contact Aubrey: ahines@biblio.org
