The 2009 Ornament has Arrived!

12/9/2009

The Friends of Southern Pines Public Library is once again offering a collectible ornament, the eighth in the series recognizing local architectural landmarks. The 2009 edition depicts the Dempsey Student Center on the campus of Sandhills Community College. The 24K gold-finished ornament is a three-dimensional representation of the Student Center, which was dedicated in 2005.

Only 250 copies of the Dempsey Student Center ornament are being produced. The ornament shipment is scheduled to arrive on Dec. 9 at the Southern Pines Public Library and will be available for purchase at $25 each.

There is a limited supply of previous year issues available at a reduced cost of $10 each: 2003 Book Shop Row on Broad Street, 2004 Weymouth Center, 2005 Shaw House, 2006 the Library itself, 2007 Civic Club, and 2008 Sunrise Theater. The 2002 Historic Train Station was sold out, but an undated reissue is available at $20, while supplies last.

All proceeds from the ornament project are used to fund the many programs of the Friends of Southern Pines Public Library.
