Supporting the community library

La Cygne and Linn Valley area residents packed the La Cygne Library's Great Room to eat (and judge) soups, take a chance on raffle baskets, participate in a cake walk, and bid at an auction that featured homemade pies, cookies and bread at the library's 16th annual Cabin Fever Reliever on Sunday, March 2. The proceeds of the fundraiser went to help the Friends of the Library organization and to the library itself to help support programs like the meals for seniors twice a week.
