This week's Dryden Courier leads with an article on the Southworth Library book sale, to be held Thursday through Saturday at the Dryden Fire Hall. It will start at 9:00am all three days, but end at 5:00pm 8:00pm on Thursday and Friday and 1:00pm on Saturday. Last year's sale bought the library a photocopier and some expensive large-print books.
