GLFT Awards Gunter Library with new books donation The Gunter Ladies for Tomorrow club (GLFT) honored the Gunter Library at their May 19th member’s meeting. GLFT is the local chapter of the GFWC. This organization works locally and nationally to bring about positive change with an unwavering dedication to community improvement through their volun-
teer services and fundraising. In addition to this recognition, the club presented the Gunter Library with a donation check of $1,500 for the purchase of new books. This donation will serve the community well and the new children and adult books will hit the shelves early this Summer.
We’re ready for library summer reading fun. First is the SRP kick-off party on June 7th. Don’t miss this exciting event and sign up for the “Oceans Of Possibilities” themed program. Tons of exciting crafts, games and activities. Next, check out the weekly ocean themed crafts inside the library. A new craft each week through the summer. On Mondays we’ll have “Library Movie Time”. Bring a pillow and your favorite snuggie and enjoy some popcorn and a children’s film. Space is limited so make sure to sign up quickly at the Library. 14 june 2022 | ourgunter.com
Remember to check our website and Facebook for other special SRP activities all Summer long.
