We donate books to local nursing homes, veterans’ organizations and the 3 Children’s boxes around Paris. We contributed to the children’s program at the library and helped the participants receive their free book after completion of the Summer Reading Program.
Your membership helps the library, the community and gives you good deals on your favorite books. Wanting a specific book you just can’t seem to find? Well as a member, you can ask the bookstore manager to add you to her list. She looks over the inventory twice a month. If your book is there, she will call and/or email you so that you can come in to get it in the office so no other customer will buy it.
