Next blood drive:  March 13, 2012.  Visit www.redcrossblood.org to make an appointment online.  GIVE BLOOD.  EVERY DROP COUNTS.

In September 2011, Molli Larson, former employee and President of Friends of the Library passed away.  Molli had been a part of the Friends of the Library for over 20 years.  She was a strong advocate and supporter of the Library. Molli worked diligently to accomplish many things for the library. In her memory, Friends of the Library along with the Round Lake Area Public Library will be hosting a dedication for her on Thursday, January 12, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. at the library.  Please join with us to remember Molli and let her family know how much we appreciated all the hard work she did for the library. We hope you will be able to attend. Please call 847-546-7060 ext. 110 to RSVP.
