Ribbon Cutting

January 9th at 10:30 AM

The Friends of the Blanco Library cordially invite you to join us for the Ribbon Cutting & Grand Opening of our freshly remodeled book sale section, lovingly dubbed The Clearing. After months of sanding, painting, rearranging (and figuring it out as we went) this space is finally taking shape. Stop by the library on Friday, January 9th at 10:30 a.m. to help us formally celebrate the moment. Come and see what happens when a few good people, a little creativity, and a lot of hard work make something magical.
