JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The James River Valley Library System is looking for donations for their annual mitten tree.

Items being sought are new or gently used mittens, gloves, hats, and scarves. The James River Valley Library System presents the sixth annual Mitten Tree.

“It’s the time of year again when the weather turns cold and we need to dig our hats, mittens, scarves and other warm clothes out of storage,” Assistant Library Director Jill Pfaff states.

“To help those who may not have those necessary items during this cold weather season, the James River Valley Library System has placed a Mitten Tree in the Adult Section of the Alfred Dickey Library. We are asking the community to help us decorate our Mitten Tree by donating newer, gently used hats, gloves, mittens and scarves for all ages. All donations will be given to the Salvation Army, which will give these items to those who need them.”

Pfaff says they had an amazing amount of donations last year and thanked all those who made it possible.

“This year we want to make it an even bigger success, so please stop by the library December 4th through January 3rd, 2020, and help us decorate our Mitten Tree again.”

To learn more about the Mitten Tree, please contact the library at 701-252-2990 or adpl@daktel.com.

The James River Valley Library System is located in Jamestown, ND, and consists of the Alfred Dickey Branch, the Stutsman County Branch, and the Bookmobile.

“We serve all of Stutsman County by providing access to free library services and materials,” Pfaff added.
