Annual Plant Sale 2025
Lincoln Library

We had a wonderful time hosting our Annual Plant Sale on May 24th, even if the sun decided to take the day off! Despite the chilly, rainy weather, the event was a great success thanks to the incredible support from local businesses and residents who generously donated a beautiful variety of plants. Shoppers browsed the lush selection while enjoying coffee, cookies, and sweet treats. And while the weather wasn’t ideal, Mother Nature gave us one silver lining—not a single plant needed watering! A heartfelt thank you goes out to all the vendors and contributors who helped make this beloved fundraiser bloom.

Holiday Shopping 2024

Despite the wintery weather, we had a good turnout for the 2024 Holiday Shopping event. With that said, we want to extend our appreciation to the visitors that stopped by to support the local vendors... and the library. We had 19 vendors displaying a variety of textiles, photos, glassware, aromatics, doggie treats, and so much more. Additionally, The Friends of Lincoln Library sold raffle tickets for a chance to win a beautiful hand stitched Christmas Tree Quilt and also provided a festive gift wrapping station. Patrons were greeted with several snack and beverage options, as well as something to satisfy their sweet tooth. A fun time was had by all! We hope to see everyone next year!

A Book & A Slice 2024

Our 2024 gathering of adults and young ones proved to be a successful night of trading books, meeting new friends, and catching up with old pals. Vegetables with dip, delicious pizza, mouth watering brownies and sweet treats, and a variety of beverages, set the evening motion. With over 35 locals participating, it was a wonderful evening of fun. See you next year!
