There sure wasn't any snow on the ground or any Christmas trees in evidence, but the Coal City Public Library District and St. Juvin Post 1336 brought some cheer to the residents of the Illinois Veteran's Home in Manteno on Tuesday, July 17.
The library began collecting donations of needed extras for the vets, things like snack foods, candy, jugs of punch and iced tea, bottled water with flavoring packets, personal hygiene items like toothbrushes and paste, deodorant, shower flip-flops, towels and men's clothing in mid June and the local community responded with generosity.
