The Friends of Brooks Memorial Library have announced that they will hold a raffle for a locally designed and built Colonial design pine bookcase. Tickets for the raffle will be available at the Brooks Memorial Library from Monday, November 10 through Saturday, December 13. Donated to the Friends by a local craftsman, Paul Rodrigue, this bookcase is handmade of pine cut from nearby Alstead, New Hampshire. The bookcase is 44 inches tall and 24 inches wide. The traditional dovetail joints are all hand cut.
This year the Friends will also be selling as a fundraiser, the very popular 20154 Book Lover’s Calendar. The calendars are great holiday gift items and are available at the Library Front Desk for $10 each.
