“Let Your Light Shine” at the West Paris Public Library

WEST PARIS - It’s time again to help the “Little Castle” glow with glimmering white lights in honor of a loved one. The Friends of the Library are sponsoring the bedecking of the Library with sparkling white lights to honor and remember those who have a special place in our hearts and lives. Suggested donation is $5 from adults and $1 from children under 12 for each person to be honored. The names of these individuals will be permanently inscribed in the Library’s Let Your Light Shine Memory Book.

The first illumination of the lights will occur on December 10 at 5:30 p.m. Area residents and visitors alike are invited to join in the fun on this date. There will be refreshments and a special activity for children (which adults can also join in and enjoy).

Proceeds from this “light”-hearted event will be used to purchase items needed for the new addition to the Library.

Donations may be dropped off at the Library, which is located at 226 Main Street. The may also be mailed to Friends of the Library, West Paris Public Library, P.O. Box 307, West Paris, ME 04289. According to Librarian Patty Makley, “Each donation should include the name, address and phone number of the donor(s). In addition, we need the name of the person(s) to be honored or remembered and whether they are being honored (living) or remembered (deceased). We also need to know their relationship to the donor(s).”

The Library is open Monday and Friday from 1:30 – 6 p.m., Wednesday from 1:30 – 7 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. For more information, call 674-2004.
