Brothers Restaurant holds Community Night for Murphy Library on Monday from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Posted on: April 2, 2010
Friends of Murphy Library are celebrating Community Night at Brothers Restaurant, 5722 Highway 64 West on Monday, April 5 from 4:30 to 8:30.
Everyone is encouraged to bring friends and family to dine at this family eatery. On Community Night, Brothers donates a portion of the night’s proceeds to the sponsoring organization.
The money raised will help children.
Librarian Jeff Murphy and Sarah Arnaudin, the Youth Services librarian, want to update the nonfiction books in the juvenile area at the Murphy Library. Many are outdated and there is nothing like bright, shiny books to entice children to read.
Reminder flyers can be found at Murphy Xpress Lube on the back of their invoices or at the Murphy Library. Call 837-2417 for details.
