Gingerland Library News

We dedicate this page to links to articles published about both the Gingerland Library as well as the Friends of the Gingerland Library.  We also submit to you, our members, the statistics on books, both donated and purchased, by the library as well as circulation statistics.  In this way we hope that you see the value of your donations!

Weekly - Each week the two local papers publish "What's New in the Library This Week".  We focus a short article on new volumes that have been added to the library circulation during the previous week, both in children's as well as adult genres including both fiction and non-fiction.
