Friends of the Library Mother’s Day Basket Winner

Sharen Downen of Sparta was the winner of the Mother’s Day basket drawing sponsored by Friends of the Christian County Library.

Downen, mother to three and grandmother to seven, is a retired hair stylist who has lived in Missouri since 1990. Some of her favorite books are on how to scrapbook and take pictures of wildlife. She enjoys crafts, needlework, and crocheting, and making cards, albums, and journals to give as gifts. The variety of wildlife in her own backyard allows her to indulge in her hobby of taking wildlife pictures. This summer she will be bringing five of her grandchildren to the summer reading program and other activities sponsored by the library.

The next gift basket on display will be an adult basket celebrating Father’s Day. All dads are encouraged to come in to the library before June 15th and enter to win. For more information on Friends of the Library contact the Christian County Library staff at (417) 581-2432.
