LIBRARY NEWS!!
Exciting News!! Bonney Memorial Library has just received a gift of 100 new children's books, ranging from pre-kindergarten through early readers. These books were a donation from the Brownstone Book Fund, a private foundation in New York City, interested in fostering early reading, a love of books and encouraging parents and children to read together. Visit the library to explore and enjoy our new collection.
