************************************************************ MAGAZINES AND NEWSPAPERS @ CFL
The Board of Trustees and the CFL staff wish to thank the many businesses, organizations, families and individuals for their support in sponsoring many of the library’s wonderful collection of magazines and newspapers. As subscription costs continue to climb and as our funding levels decline, the library would find it difficult to offer the current selection without financial assistance from the community.
