Library Wish Tree 2008



Through the month of December 2008, the library was decorated with 22 mini Christmas trees.  The library's first Festival of Trees kicked off with an evening tree lighting event--complete with caroling and cookies.

The mini trees were decorated by area organizations and businesses from the Maple Valley community.  (To see the mini trees, visit the library's Flickr site by clicking on the link to the right.)

The library's large tree, shown here, was decor
ated with ornaments depicting titles of books the library needed new 
or replacement copies.
  The cost to purchase each title was on the back of each ornament and library patrons were invited to purchase the book(s) of their choice.

Nearly $300 was donated via the wish tree resulting in a cart full of new books.  Each donated title has a Festival of Trees bookplate inside recognizing the donor.
