We’d like to continue to expand our inventory by soliciting donations of AUDIO books from Landmark residents.

We currently have many AUDIO books on hand by the same popular authors you’ve come to enjoy in printed form. These are located in the “Paperback Room” in the back of the library and are being checked out on a honor system basis.

SAVE THOSE NEWSPAPERS!!! Several of our volunteer recyclers have reported finding papers being thrown in the dumpsters. If you have a housekeeper, caregiver or family member taking out your trash or are a new resident we would like to remind you about our paper bins located next to the dumpsters. The money derived from this project comes back into the Landmark, which in turn helps to keep our expenses down and keeps paper out of our landfills.

Thank You, The Recyclers P.S. We Need Volunteers! Call Art Wolff at
