The library support organization held their first sale day at their new bookstore in the lower level of the Harrison County Multi-Purpose Center. Pictured with Dorthea are, from the left, Friends of the Library members Sarah Graham, Teresa Pierce, Les Kelim and Billy Jo Ragan. The library friends plan to hold regular sales at the new bookstore to support the Bethany Public Library. “I thought it went real well for our first sale,” Pierce said.
