Give the Gift of Reading
Visit any Marion Library Service branch during opening hours from Monday 13 November to Saturday 16 December to donate new children's books. These books will be distributed to families in need of extra support over Christmas time thanks to the Smith Family.
To participate, simply purchase a children's book, visit the library and leave your unwrapped gift in the donation box under our library Christmas trees.
This year we have Christmas tree tags that you can take home to hang on your tree after you have donated!
