Morongo Basin Spell-A-Thon The second annual Spell-A-Thon was a success with over $5400 raised for the three libraries in the Morongo Basin. Thanks to everyone who participated, came to cheer on the spellers, pledged support to the teams, or donated items for our raffle. Thanks especially the Twentynine Palms Downtown Business Association for their support and to Anne Lear who donated the major raffle prize, a beautiful oil painting by local artist called Joshua Trees.

May 13 Book Sale It's time to restock your book shelves at bargain prices. The Friends will hold their big Spring book sale Saturday, May 13 from 9 am to 3 pm at the library on Adobe Rd. Proceeds put more books on library shelves and offset the cost of the summer reading program. We can't do it without community support and we value yours!

Lots of Free Stuff Books, e-books, craft kits, story time, tutoring, literacy assistance, digital and in-person programs - they're all available at your local library for free. Stop in and talk to the staff or visit www.sbclib.org for the latest.

Need to complete a job application or download or print a legal form, use the library's computers. Don't miss out. Visit our How To page for directions or the County Library site.
