Things take shape at The Mighty Twig

We’re rounding out our Children’s Collection with some classics, so if your kids have outgrown these favorites, please email us at twig@eplfriends.org, and we’ll come collect them.

Later this month, we’ll take other donations for use at The Mighty Twig as well as our other book drops at BooCoo, Ridgeville, Primm Towers and other reading hot spots around town.

    You need the Freddy & the Pig series. I wish I had some to give.

    Oops – that should be “Freddy the Pig”

    We have several picture books to donate around trains & dinosaurs. Also we just wanted to ask if our currently checked out S. Branch copies of Birthday Cake for Cow & What Will Fat Cat Sit On can now belong to the twig? Or do they stay at the main? They’re due mid-March.

    Hold onto them for now. After Saturday’s Grand Opening, we’ll have a better answer about where and when to drop them. Thank you!
