Chocolate lovers

The Friends of the Library annual Chocolate Lovers take-out event was a huge success. Around 70 people attended, purchased chocolates and bid on the silent auction items and crafting bundles.  While the event could not include gathering and catching up over coffee and hot cocoa this year, it certainly brought pre-Valentine's Day joy to the community and raised money, a little over $1,000,  for projects and programs to support the Hot Springs County Library. Members donated chocolate treats, gift baskets for a silent auction and crafting bundles. Tracey Kinnaman and the Hot Springs County Library staff offered enthusiastic help and suggestions.
