LIBRARY FRIENDS OFFER CELL PHONE WALLETS
Just in time for summer, the Friends of Tolland Public Library are selling Cell-Wallets. These wallets hold most cell phones, cash, credit cards and your keys. A carabiner clip on the outside allows the wallet to hang on a belt loop, beach bag or even a backpack. Perfect for taking essentials with you for a day of summer fun. Everything you need, right where you need it and all for only $5.00. Come to the library and get one for everybody in the
family.
You can use your cell wallet when you’re browsing the stalls at the Farmers Market on the Town Green this summer. You’ll want some summer reading in that beach bag, too, so watch for our volunteers selling paperbacks and children’s books for 50 cents. And if you miss our booth on the Green, don’t worry. There are always gently used books for sale in the library. A small selection is displayed on a table to the right as you enter; a much larger selection is shelved at the end of the adult fiction section.
