Don't have a pint — donate it to the American Red Cross blood drive instead, when they set up shop at the library on Friday, June 8. Reservations 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. Or just walk in any time between 10:00 AM-3:45 PM. There's a critical need for blood this summer, so please stop in to donate a pint. And be sure to bring a friend. (You must be at least 17 years old and able to donate an entire pint.)
