The Yard Sale Cometh!

It's that time of year once again.  Time to clean out your closets, tidy up the attic and look to see what you've been storing in your garage for too long.  The Ripley Free Library will hold its annual yard sale on June 7th & 8th.  Proceeds go to the Summer Reading Program.  We will accept just about anything that's in good condition including furniture, toys, clothes, knick knacks, computers, electronic equipment...you get the idea.  Please drop off your donations during our open hours of operations, and from all of us here, thank you for your generosity.
