Store asks for
return of Bible
The Friends of the Library
Bookstore is asking for a re-
tUrn.
According to Teresa Riper,
president of Friends of the Li-
brary, a family donated a large
quantity of books to the store,
located at 1244 Main St., which
mistakenly included a prized
family Bible.
"The Bible was in German
and had a wood cover," Riper
said. "It's a family heirloom
and is quite precious."
She said a sign has been
placed on the door and she has
contacted one particular cus-
tomer who buys German books,
but with no results.
"We will refund their
money and give the person a
gift certificate for the store as a
thank-you," Riper said.
The Friends of the Library
also iscollecting Legos for use
in the library's summer reading
program, which will include
a Lego Literacy component.
Anyone with usable Legos,
old or new, may drop them off
at the bookstore, as is the case
with the Bible, she said.
