Light refreshments will be provided. Feel free to contribute, if you like. Members often bring their own mug or teacup to use, but it is not required.

Also note: The Sunnyside Library is host to the Friends of the Library year-round used book sale. Consider taking a little extra time to find a good book for the fall!
