Make A Resolution You Can Keep!
Resolve to share your talents with the patrons of the Harmony Library.
Do you knit, play the guitar, paint, golf, repair small machines?
These are just a few of the talents that could be shared with others in our library community.
Please speak to a staff member so you can be included on our program calendar for children and adults.
Help the Harmony Library make 2011 "the year of sharing with your community."

SENIOR RESOURCES
HARMONY HERALD
The idea for a creative writing newsletter came from the realization that this little Northwest corner of the state is brimming with
talented individuals. Once we put out the call for original works, we were rewarded with a generous outpouring of short stories and poetry from all ages.
We are delighted to share our contributors' works with the community and hope this publication will continue to grow online and
encourage others to share their talents and creativity.
For information or submit your work by email to: harmonyreference@hotmail.com.
