A message from Rich Kasson, Technology Director at Valmeyer School . . . . . I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has donated their empty inkjet and laser cartridges to our recycling program.  Through this program we have raised $450, which has been used to offset our ink and toner costs.  We will continue to recycle cartridges during the summer months.  If you would like to donate your empty cartridges, they can be dropped off in the library during normal operating hours. Thank you for allowing us to recycle your empty cartridges.

 

The Valmeyer Library is looking for photographers and technical buffs (actors, dancers, etc.) to present programs at the LIGHTS, CAMERA, READ! SUMMER READING PROGRAM.  Contact the Library at 935-2626 with suggestions, ideas or for scheduling information.
