BEALS MEMORIAL LIBRARY

The Friends of the Beals Memorial Library in Winchendon are warming up their ovens to create Valentine-themed sweets! The Bake Sale fundraiser will be held through Saturday, February 14th, and offer buyers the opportunity to purchase cookies in a variety of delicious flavors. These beautifully boxed baked goods can be given as gifts or kept for yourself as a guilty pleasure. Cookies may be pre-ordered by the dozen at $10.00 each, or two baker’s dozens (26 cookies) at $20.00. Order forms can be downloaded from the Beals Library website at bealslibrary.org/friends, or picked up at the Library. Once the order form has been filled out, buyers can either email their orders to Paula Whitaker at jimpaulawhitaker@gmail.com or drop them off at the Library’s circulation desk. Order forms are due by Monday, February 9th. Buyers may also stop by the Friends Book Sale on the ground floor of the Beals Library on Saturday, February 14 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, and buy their cookies then. Payments are made when the cookies are picked up, and the Friends accept cash, check or Venmo payments. The boxed dozens include: •Peanut Blossoms: Peanut butter cookies with a variety of chocolate kisses on top. •Scotch Shortbread: Round-shaped, frosted shortbread with a cherry on top. •Stenciled Cookie: Heart-shaped butter cookies with stenciled heart-shaped sprinkles on top. •Raspberry Almond: Rich, buttery Scandinavian, melt-in-your-mouth tradition. •M+M Valentine Sugar Cookie: Heart-shaped cookies with white or milk chocolate swirled on half of it, and dotted with M+M’s. •Chocolate Peppermint Splash: Chocolate cookie with pink frosting and crushed peppermint on top. •Variety Pack: An assortment of each cookie featured above. All proceeds from the Friends of the Library Valentine’s Cookie Bake Sale fundraiser will benefit future Library programs. For more information email Paula Whitaker at jimpaulawhitaker@gmail.com.
