Your Riverton and Palmyra neighbors contributed their favorite recipes for appetizers, soups & salads, main dishes, vegetables, breads, desserts, and beverages for this library cookbook.  Now a time capsule of photos from the towns in 2003, this fundraiser was created by The Friends of the Riverton Free Library and is again on sale.  Copies can be purchased at the library or at April 25th’s Cocktail Social, Mardi Gras, to be held at Sacred Heart Church.

Cost of the cookbook, $10 each, 3 for $25.

Mr. Robinson has been hard at work in the library basement culling and packing boxes of donated, used books to make room for the  expansion of the Historical Society of Riverton’s archives.

On April 9th and 10th, members of the HSR moved nearly 100 boxes out of the basement and assisted workers from the Salvation Army in loading their truck.

Once the basement is rearranged, the Friends of Riverton Free Library will continue to offer used books for sale.  Several local professional archivists are volunteering their time and expertise to advise on a plan for the complete renovation of the HSR archives, which will include more storage and public display space.

Terrific cooperation between two of Riverton’s stellar public service organizations!

Come and join us on Saturday, April 25th from 6:30 until 10:30 PM, at Sacred Heart Gym for our annual fundraising event.

The theme this year is Mardi Gras! Bring your masks, beads, and hors d’oeuvre or dessert to share.  Attendees can participate in the tombola auction to try to win a donated prize. Open bar sponsored by the RFL Association.

Nancy Fort has found another great book to recommend!  Review #6.

Tell the Wolves I’m Home by Carol Rifka Brunt is an unconventional coming of age story set in the 1980’s. I realize I have recommended young adult, ’80’s fiction recently but in my defense, I was not aware of those details when I selected the book. I found the book while browsing the BCLS catalog for electronic books currently available for download. I read the brief summary that it was the story of a young girl who had a special relationship with her uncle who died and left her to contemplate her grief and relationships with the rest of her family. I won’t give the rest away but it is a wonderful story about love and family.
