Launch Day for The 23rd Annual Mitten and Hat Tree at the Hyannis Public Library is December 3rd

The recent blast of freezing weather has signaled the start of mitten and hat season! The 23rd Annual mitten and hat tree will be ready for decorating at the Hyannis Public Library on Thursday, December 3. The staff and trustees are delighted that the library’s tree is the collection spot for your donations of mittens, hats, and scarves for local children and youth without these basic necessities. Help keep a child warm this winter with a little of your time, talent and caring. If you don’t knit, crochet, or sew, please consider recruiting someone who does and help purchase the materials. Donations of new “store-bought” gifts are also welcome and appreciated. Your kind gifts will be distributed to local charitable organizations. Mittens and gloves are especially needed this year. We invite you to join us in this traditional winter time giving project to help our neighbors.

Do you have an old Windows or Linux-based laptop that you would be willing to donate for a local child in need?

The Hyannis Public Library has joined the Masonic Angel Foundation, Inc. in promoting “Laptops for Kidz,” a project to make computers accessible to America’s children. Local businesses and individuals are asked to donate gently used laptop computers to the Masonic Angel Foundation. The Hyannis Public Library is an official drop-off site during regular library hours. Please note that this program accepts only Windows or Linux-based laptop computers. Donated laptops may be eligible for tax deductions. The Hyannis West Elementary School will be the recipient of the revamped laptops donated via the library.
