Sign Up Now For November 9 Blood Drive

Start off the season of giving with a donation to the American Red Cross Blood Drive on Friday, November 9 at CPL.

The 43 hospitals in the tri-county area alone use 900 pints… per day! So, swear off caffeine and chocolate for the day, and eat high-iron foods like raisins, beef, broccoli, tomatoes and watermelon. Then come in and help save a life. Reservations (10:00 AM-3:30 PM) are being accepted now: in person at the Reception Desk, by phone at 734-397-0999 ext. 1071, or by email to gladdenk@cantonpl.org.

Who Has the Best Friends Ever?

We do, of course! Check out this new sign the Friends of the Canton Public Library purchased for us. What a great way to remind the community of all the programs we have planned (sponsored by — who else? — the Friends). If you know a Friend, be sure to thank them.
