The Golden Link

Throughout the month of August, the Gold Coast Public Library will be celebrating its second birthday and is asking everyone to send the library a birthday card. There is no need to purchase one; just fill in the blanks on the card which is available online at www.goldcoastlibrary.org, on this blog or at the library. All wishes will be posted on the community information bulletin board in the front lobby.

Happy 2nd Birthday Gold Coast Public Library!
