News & Announcements:
Librarian in Lockup! Miss Jess will be going behind bars on September 20th to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Help us raise her “bail money” by donating online at http://www2.mda.org/goto/jessicaarnold.
Kids and adults in our community are living with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related muscle-debilitating diseases that take away everyday freedoms like walking, talking, hugging and even breathing.
By donating to her “bail,” you can help Miss Jess raise money to bring strength and hope to the individuals and families in our community living with these life-threatening diseases.
