The Friends of the Library met for their monthly meeting, Wednesday, March 15, with discussion centered on the raffle for the Dallas Cowboy memorabilia collection.
The group voted to extend the raffle until July 1, the date of this year’s Herring Bank Parade and the Saints’ Roost Celebration. The previous deadline for buying raffle tickets was March 31. With lots of people attending the parade and festivities on July 1, the Friends hope for a better turnout.
Some of the current needs the library has are refinishing or protection coat of the wood on the building, which may cost more than the library’s budget allows, and new children’s books, which get rough handling.
The raffle sales will continue through July 1 with the drawing at the end of the day. Tickets may be purchased at the Burton Memorial Library, 217 S. Kearney St., Clarendon, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. weekdays. Ticket cost is $1 each or six tickets for $5.
The cabinet that is holding the Cowboys collection will also be raffled separately. When buying your raffle tickets, tell the staff which you are purchasing for.
