We’d like to extend a special thank you to the Finley Improvement Association for their generous donation that will go toward the purchase of a computer and monitor. We have used a laptop for the past several years to enter nearly 9000 books into the inventory. A computer with monitor will make the job quite a bit easier. The books are in inventory so you can look at www.finleypl.org  to see if we have a book you might be interested in. Thank you Finley Improvement!

Thanks also go to people who remembered the Library with memorials. Those include: Elda Mickelson from Pam Walcker, Frances Flynn from Starr Braaten, Lori Ham from Pam Walcker, Linda Bailey from Starr Braaten, Pat Kolhmstedt from Pam Walcker, and, a very nice donation from Jack Walswick to make sure the library stays open. Thank you all for thinking of your library.
