Farmer City Library Celebrating Recent Contributions

The Farmer City Public Library is celebrating some recent contributions that will bolster their collection.

 

Director Amy Johnson indicates WILL in Champaign-Urbana has always been a great partner with them and explains they recently contributed reading bags for families to borrow. She explains these bags have books, games, and activities for families to borrow.

 

 

The DeWitt County Farm Bureau recently donated a set of agriculture-themed children’s books to the Farmer City Public Library as part of the DeWitt County Agriculture in the Classroom program. Johnson indicates among the titles are; “Full of Beans, Henry Ford Grows a Car” by Peggy Thomas, “Tales of the Dairy Godmother” by Viola Butler, “John Deere, That’s Who!” by Tracy Maurer, “Right This Very Minute” by Lisl H. Detlefsen, and “The Popcorn Astronauts” by Deborah Ruddell. 

 

 

A long-time teacher from Blue Ridge passed away and a memorial was established to fundraise and purchase books. Johnson explains the donations were split between the library and Blue Ridge High School.

 

 

The Farmer City Library remains closed but Johnson says as their collection continues to grow, they are getting more and more people participating in their curbside pick up program. Get more information about curbside pick-up by calling 309-928-9532 or email farmercitypubliclibrary@gmail.com.
