A library fund-raiser garage sale is planned for Friday, May 30 at the Adel Public Library.  Hours will be 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.  Wanted are new or good used items; no clothing or shoes, please.  Items may be brought to the library at any time during library hours.  Proceeds for this project will be used to purchase another book bin for the children's area.

The library accepts empty inkjet cartridges for recycling.  Accepted are Compaq, Canon, Lexmark, and Hewlett Packard.  No Epson cartridges, please. The empty cartridges are sent in and the library receives money in return.  The donation box is near the copy machine.

The automatic door openers are working again, but will be turned off between 3:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday due to the abuse of the system by school children.  We apologize for any inconvenience.
