The Homewood Library’s Junior Friends of the Library gathered Friday, Oct. 16, to decorate bags that were filled with treats for the many volunteers who work the Saturday book sales from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the library.
The juniors decorated 48 bags and filled them with bottled water, granola bars and candy.

The gift covered the cost of construction of the space that included reworking of the heating, air conditioning and lighting, as well as purchasing the modular walls.
