On the Spot cribbage tales and library benefit notes
Cribbage players Spid Conner and Matty Zurbriggen near pegging out when Matty declares I’m set at a recent public library bridges and five hundred benefit party.

The Elgin Public Library in the town hall invites readers with a lighthearted note and a gag about hair color and wedding pies amid a flood of names and weekend visits.
