The Caestecker Public Library needs you!

We’re currently putting together our winter music series, and are actively seeking musicians who would like to perform at the library. Singers, instrumentalists, solo acts and groups – all are invited to contact us and participate in this free concert series. We (and our patrons) would love to hear from you.

We’d also like to ask a favor on behalf of the Friends of the Caestecker Library. If you plan to shop online for the holidays, please consider beginning your shopping with GoodSearch.com and GoodShop.com. Our Friends group has registered with this organization, which links to major online retailers and funnels a percentage of what you spend back to the Friends. Let me give you an example: I’m planning to order a book for my son for Christmas. I first visit GoodShop.com and select Friends of the Caestecker Library as the charity I am shopping for. From there I can link to Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Better World Books, the National Geographic Store, and many others. A percentage of my purchase will be donated to the Friends AT NO COST TO ME! It’s a quick, easy, and effective way to support the Friends. If you shop online often, there’s even a toolbar you can download so you don’t always need to start at GoodShop.com.  We have more information at the library if you’re interested.
