On behalf of the Union Public Library Association, I would like to thank the Tiverton community for their support of our annual book, bake, and Yard Sale held on July 20. It was a great success! Thank you to everyone who came out to shop for bargains, those who donated items for the sale, the volunteers who put in many hours sorting  and transporting books and yard sale items and those who helped with set up, event tasks, and clean up.

All of the proceeds from the sale event go towards maintaining Union Public Library's building and grounds. It is through the generosity of our supporters that we are able to keep the structure in good repair and accessible to library patrons as part of Tiverton Library Services. The library is open on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. We encourage you to visit this local treasure in Tiverton Four Corners.

We welcome new members and new volunteers to help out with tasks to maintain the building and grounds and to assist the librarian during the regular hours of operation. Those who are interested may visit the library or call (401)625-6799 for more information. Once again, thank you.
