The Ontario Public Library is accepting winter-clothing donations. Donations can be used, but we ask that they are clean. We are looking for coats, snow pants, boots, gloves, hats, and scarves. All items are free and will be available in the front entrance of the library any time of the day. If you are in need, please feel free to take what you need to stay warm this season. Questions? Call (608) 337-4651. Help us share the warmth!
