Your Finley Library will be hosting an Open House on Thursday, June 9 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM, in conjunction with Finley Days. Come on over to the Library after enjoying lunch at Finley Motors. There will be a book sale with hardcover books selling for 50 cents each, paperbacks for $1.00 per bag and we will also be having lots of FREE children’s books. Stop over from 2 – 4, have some treats and stock up on books.
 
Also, we are sponsoring a coloring contest. The pictures to be colored were handed out at the school, to be returned to the school. Additional coloring sheets are available in the Library entryway. There will also be a box in the entryway to return any sheets not dropped at the school.. Age groups include grades K through 3 and grades 4 through 6. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three entries in each age group. The winner’s pictures will be on display in the Library during the open house and the rest of the entries will be displayed in the Post Office during Finley Days.
 
We have received many new books, purchased and donated. We have gotten a few larger print inspirational paperback books. We will try them out to see if anyone is interested. Some new books are:
