Donation
Members of Shannon Labonte’s family met at the Putnam Public Library on July 3 to present a generous donation in her memory. The funds were some of the proceeds from the annual Shannon Labonte Memorial Artisan and Craft Fair at the Putnam Congregational Church. The money raised from the craft fair supports a variety of causes that were close the Shannon’s heart. Shannon was a very special person and frequent library customer who passed away in 2018. She was a preschool teacher at Country Kids Child Care in Putnam and had a heart for children and learning. The funds will used to purchase materials for the children’s department of the library in Shannon’s memory.
