Sleep In Heavenly Peace Bed Build

The Shalimar Library is sponsoring a Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) bed build on 9 May 2026, starting at 8:00 am. SHP is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to building and delivering beds to children who do not have a bed of their own. Many children in our community sleep on the floor, couches, or crowded in bed with a parent. Through volunteer bed builds and donations, the local SHP Chapter provides a new bed, mattress, and bedding so that children can have a safe and comfortable place to sleep.

The Shalimar Library & Thrift Shop donates $3,000 to Shalimar Elementary School

New Monthly Book Club
