Happy December!

Welcome to the first-ever Lima Public Library newsletter! We are so happy to have you as part of our community!

Before I let you know about some of our exciting upcoming programs, let me fill you in on some of the amazing things we just wrapped up.

We recently wrapped up our first ever Great Give Back, in conjunction with OWWL Library System. We selected Lima Primary School as our recipient. When we posted their wishlist, our community delivered! Click here to see photos of the donations we received!

We have also seen a growing number of participants in our online author talk series, in conjunction with the Library Speakers Consortium. Our Friends group recently held a watch party for Kate Quinn’s talk on The Diamond Eye and it was nice to see so many of you here!

We have some incredible events coming up for you as we head into the holiday season.
