The Knoxville Public Library’s Giving Tree of Books was successful this year, says Holly Shelford, Youth Services Coordinator at the library. She says 27 to 30 books were purchased, some by donors who have made a tradition of the event, and some who were new to the process this year. Library Director Roslin Thompson says that any book that was donated in memory or in honor of someone is now searchable in the library’s card catalog, both by the honoree’s name and the purchaser’s name if they wish to make it available.
