To the editor:

On behalf of the Union Public Library Association, I would like to thank the greater Tiverton community for their support of our annual book sale, yard sale and bake sale fundraiser held on August 19 and 20. It was a great success! 

Our thanks go out to all of those who donated items, the youth and adults who volunteered their time and energy to sort, set up and clean up, and those who attended our sale that weekend.

All of the proceeds from the event will go towards maintaining Union Public Library's building and grounds. Union Public Library, located at 3832 Main Road in Tiverton, is the second oldest library in Newport County.  It is through the generosity of our supporters, that we have been able to keep the structure in good repair and accessible to library patrons for generations. 

The library is open on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.  We encourage you to stop by and visit this local treasure. We welcome new members and new volunteers to help out with various tasks to maintain the building and grounds, and to assist the librarian during the regular hours of operation.  Those who are interested may visit the library or call 625-6799 for more information.
