It’s never too early to start your Christmas shopping. Why not gift someone on your list with a Friends of the Dixon Public Library membership? There are three types of membership: individual for $5, family for $10, and patron for $25. Come by The Friendly Bookworm Bookstore to purchase a membership and pick up the membership form. You can then make sure Santa gets the membership form to your gift recipient. The recipient of your gift can then either drop the form off at the bookstore or mail it to the bookstore (the address is on the membership form). Once received, they will get a welcome letter, a $5 coupon to spend at the bookstore, and a bookmark. This message is Santa approved.
