“I want to help get more books for the library,” Hiwassee Dam resident Lili Molina told Murphy Library head librarian Jeff Murphy during a recent visit. When asked her age, she emphatically stated, “I’m still four.” Her parents Becky and Mario Molina encourage her reading, but her interest in fundraising is all her own idea.
When Murphy heard Lili’s comment he pulled out baseballs and mitts to show her how willing he was to play ball her way. The baseball items and lots more will be in Friends of Murphy Library’s Trash to Treasures Yard Sale this Friday and Saturday, May 4 and 5, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Funds raised will help the library do what Lili and many other readers want: buy more books for all ages.
Donations are still being accepted. Call 837-2417 for details.

Katie O’Connor is five years old and loves books. She and her parents, Matt and Jenn O’Connor were visiting her grandparents, Murphy residents Mike and Marcia Smith, when they stopped by the Murphy Library.
Five-year-old Katie O’Connor reads one of the new books at the Murphy Library purchased with funds raised at the Friends of Murphy Library yard and book sale in May. Katie was visiting the library with her parents Matt and Jenn O’Connor during their recent vacation. More fundraisers are coming up.
The library has been buying new nonfiction books for its children’s section recently with funds raised at the May yard sale and book sale. Katie found a new book about the color yellow full of everything yellow, from bananas to parakeets.
Librarian Jeff Murphy noted that he ordered new books from Crabtree Press and also from Amazon. A young person (and even an adult) could spend a hot summer afternoon reading about France, China, the color blue, the Hudson River, and even….vampires! Just ask the librarians where the new children’s books are.
More fundraising events are on the calendar. The Craft Supplies Sale (for the Spelling Bee fund) and Book Sale take place at the library on July 23 and 24 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The annual auction is at Bob Grove Auctions on August 7.
