DEAR SUN SPOTS: We are asking that people please do not put any advertising or political signs at Veterans Memorial Park in Lewiston. We are honoring all veterans in this park and it is not a place for ads and signs. Please honor all veterans, and don’t add any signs in this respectable place. — Bert Dutil, Advisor to the L & A Veterans Council.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have a bunch of metal hangers from dry cleaners for free. Do you know of anyone who could use them? — Pauline, no town.

ANSWER: If anyone could use these hangers, please contact Sun Spots.

If no one responds, but you need to get rid of your wire hangers, you have a couple of options for recycling them. Check with your dry cleaner; many will accept metal hangers for reuse. Metal hangers may be recycled in your regular roadside recycling or at a metal scrapyard like Schnitzer Steel. They are located at 522 Washington St. N. in Auburn.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Friends of the West Paris Public Library are busy planning a celebration to honor the library’s 90th anniversary. The Arthur L. Mann Memorial Library, the original “little castle,” was dedicated the fall of 1926. Its constant service to the community will be honored at the Light Up the Castle Party on Friday, Dec. 9 at 6:30 p.m. A very special part of this celebratory event will be the sharing of library memories. The Friends are currently seeking contributions to a memory book. These memories can be historical or very current, funny or touching. The Friends hope children will send their thoughts, too. You are invited to write up a library memory and send it to “Memories,” West Paris Library, P.O. Box 307, West Paris, ME 04289. For more information on this project, please call the library, 207-674-2004. — No name, West Paris.
