What We <3 About Libraries
When I was at the grocery store the other day, I overheard a couple of grandparents having a conversation: Grandpa: What are we going to do with the kids all week? Grandma: You sound like you are not looking forward to having your grandchildren stay with us. Grandpa: Sally, it has been a long time since we ran after three young kids. Grandma: Don’t worry – I already ran by the l...

Lawn Signs

We’ve been getting a lot of requests for lawn signs, which is great! Unfortunately with our campaign’s limited budget, the Support CADL committee decided to spend our limited funds in other ways. We do, however, offer a compromise. If you’ve read this page carefully, you’ll notice that under the Do you have an afternoon (or two)? heading, there is a link to a PDF of our official flyers. Here’s that link again. Just click the link, and print yourself some flyers to hang in your neighborhood or in your front window. You can even print a larger version and make a homemade lawn sign. Thanks for helping us support the Capital Area District Library!
