A yarn donation container has been placed in the library foyer. Area volunteers are crocheting lap throws, chemo caps, baby items, etc. for those in need.

We are accepting any yarn skeins, scraps or patterns that you no longer need. Any unused yarn will be given to the Helping Hands Resale Shoppe to further benefit local charities.

Any donations are greatly appreciated.

Their mission: To make learning and writing more fun and relevant for students in the digital age.

Shmoop content is written primarily by Ph.D. and Masters students from top universities, like Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard, and Yale. Many of their writers have taught at the high school and college levels. They hold themselves to the highest academic standards. They source their work (see the "Citations" tab in each history section, or in-line citation links throughout their literature and poetry content). Teachers and students should feel confident to cite Shmoop as a source in essays and papers.
