LIBRARY ON-LINE BOOKSHOP
If you shop on-line for movies, music or books, you can support the library by visiting the on-line bookstore instead of going to Amazon.com or other on-line sites. When you buy at www.pigeon.librarybook-shop.net, 10% of the proceeds from your purchases will be paid to the library. There are millions of titles to choose from, and the bookshop will meet any lower price found elsewhere for any item. Purchases over $25 get free shipping. Tell your friends and family, no matter where they live, how they can support their hometown library.
