Benefits of Donating

It feels great to donate!
You get free juice and delicious cookies.
It’s something you can spare – most people have blood to spare…yet, there is still not enough to go around.
You will help ensure blood is on the shelf when needed – most people don’t think they’ll ever need blood, but many do.
You will be someone’s hero – in fact, you could help save more than one life with just one donation.

Not sure if you’re eligible to donate? Check out the eligibility requirements from the Red Cross.

Lunch & Learn: Forgotten Alabama
2017-05-09 12:00
Glenn Wills presents Forgotten Alabama
Glenn Wills takes us on his journey across Alabama as he documents the remnants of Alabama’s past. What started as a chance encounter of noticing an old car along the highway and not having a camera, he created a new mission. Over the course of the last 10 years, he visited all of Alabama’s 67 counties, logged 30,000 miles, and took close-to 15,000 photographs. Be it an old house, an abandoned store, a derelict bridge, or any number of other physical reminders of the past, all of these played a role in our lives at one point. Glenn felt the need to save those memories in a book, Forgotten Alabama. Join us to see a PowerPoint presentation and hear Glenn talk about the places he has visited in Alabama.
Reservations are appreciated and preferred. Please stop by the library or call 334-297-1139 to reserve a seat!
Limited seats available and a light lunch will be served.
