Something seems different about the library.  Did it get a haircut?  No, no I don't think so.  Hm, maybe it bought a new outfit?  No, that's not it either.  It lost a couple pounds, that must be it.  Wait, that's not quite right.  I know!  The fish tank got a complete overhaul!

The library's fish tank is looking spectacular these days after Director Patricia Laughlin and her husband decided to update its look.  After some deliberation and a great deal of hard work, the team gave the fish tank its makeover by switching out the gravel, putting up a new backdrop, and installing a new filtration system.  Some plants and other accessories will be added in the near future so, if you've already seen the new changes, be sure to check out the tank when it's finished.  If you have yet to see the tank in all its glory, stop by now and check it out.  The fish would love to give you a tour of their new pad!

It's safe to say that this year's book sale was an astounding success!  The book sale, which ran last weekend on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, was met with much anticipation by eager readers who lined up at the doors before the official kickoff Friday, April 19.  Sales surpassed $1000 on that first night alone and broke $3000 overall, setting a new record for the library.  As funds raised by the book sale are primarily used by the summer reading program, this year's program is sure to benefit greatly.  Thank you to everyone who came out to support the library and give new life to used books!

Looking for a great book to add to your home library at a phenomenal price?  Come to the Friends of the Hales Corners Library Annual Used Book Sale this weekend!  The book sale has been a huge success in the past and, with the enormous amount of books included this year, the sale promises to be a bigger success than ever.  The book sale doesn't stop at books though.  Also up for grabs are music CDs, VHS tapes, DVDs, and audio books.  Most items are 50 cents or 1 dollar. 

The sale kicks off on Preview Night, Friday, April 18th at 7 pm and goes until 9 pm.  Preview night is for Hales Corners residents only and proof of address is required.  Don't live in Hales Corners?  No problem.  The sale continues on Saturday, April 19th from 9 am to 4 pm and finishes up on Sunday, April 20th from noon until 3 pm when shoppers can buy books leftover from Saturday's sale for $2 a bag. 

Ms. Susie will give a Magical Story Time (pajamas optional) on Friday, April 19th from 7 to 7:30 pm. 

The Annual Used Book Sale is just too good to pass up so mark your calendars and be there!
