HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Behind every good man…

Today, June 19, 2011, is Father’s Day! This is the day children of all ages honor their fathers or other nurturing men in their lives, thanks to the efforts of one woman. Sonora Smart Dodd spent over 62 years fighting to establish a holiday for all fathers after creating the celebration in honor of her own father, William Jackson Smart. Though this is not the first indication that fathers were honored by their children, Sonora’s dedication and perseverance led to the establishment of a recognized national holiday on the 3rd Sunday in June. The first official Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington. Father’s Day is also celebrated on other days throughout the world.

The director and staff of The Green Free Library would like to wish all fathers and fathers-to-be, a Happy Father's Day!!

NEW DVDS ADDED

The Following DVDs have been recently added to the collection at The Green free Library.Some are new, some are new to us! Don't forget the library accepts donations of gently used DVDs in the original case for the library. If you are tired of your Christmas presents, donate them to us and share the joy with others.

LIBRARY CLOSED SATURDAY

The Green Free Library will be closed on Saturday, June 18, 2011 for the entire day. Local patrons know its not a day to come anywhere near the library, and visitors beware!The popularity of the Arts & Crafts on the Green, both on Friday & Saturday, and the Laurel Festival Parade on Saturday make parking a nightmare.
