A gathering to celebrate the life of Stacy Klink will be held on Sunday, Oct. 5 from 1:30-4:30 in the Paul Sawyier Library Community Room.  This will be a come-and-go event.

Stacy was a special lady, as those of you who knew her can attest!  She was in her seventh year as a member of our Friends of the Library Board, and was formerly on staff at the Paul Sawyier Library, driving the bookmobile for many years.  She was a “mainstay” in helping at our Friends book sales and in our bookstore.

The library and Friends invite you to come together and share your memories of Stacy.

Thank you!
Cloyd Stratton
Friends of the Paul Sawyier Public Library
