Your Amazon purchases can benefit the Friends of the Library

Posted on by

Did you know that every time you purchase an Amazon product through the smile.amazon.com website, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to the charitable organization of your choice?  It is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you.

To shop at AmazonSmile simply go to smile.amazon.com.  You’ll find the same products, prices, and shopping features as Amazon.com.   You can use your existing Amazon account on AmazonSmile. Your shopping cart, Wish List, wedding or baby registry, and other account settings are also the same.

On your first visit to AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com), you will need to select a charitable organization to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping. Search for Friends of the Chatfield Public Library Inc. AmazonSmile will remember your selection, and then every eligible purchase you make at smile.amazon.com will result in a donation.

Spread the word!  This is an easy way to support your library!

What’s your library story?

Posted on by

Hear ye, hear ye, Friends, Patrons, Trustees and our Public Library Community! Would you be interested in writing a story about the Chatfield Public Library? Our library is celebrating its 100th Birthday on February 15, 2015. The Friends of the Chatfield Public Library are compiling a booklet of Library Stories for the Birthday Event. They are asking the community to contribute short stories, or poems, or haikus of our wonderful library. Each of the Friends will contribute, as will past and present community members. Join the fun as we start celebrating the library’s centennial year.

Many stories may find themselves published in The Chatfield News, or on the Library’s website during the centennial year, as well as in the booklet. If you wish to submit a story, please send it to Mimi Seamens via email at mimi@mnbedrockgold.com. Or if you prefer the non-digital format, please write your story or poem or haiku and mail to the Chatfield Public Library, 314 So. Main Street, Chatfield MN 55923 to the attention of Mimi Seamens.
