Itsy Bitsy Offers Sweets for a Cause

is selling owl-shaped cookies throughout this month to benefit .

Each cookie is $3.50, and $1 of that goes to the library.

The bakery sold out of last week's batch, co-owner Laura Frene said, and Itsy Bitsy has sold about three dozen owl cookies since the start of October.

"It's something we'd been thinking about doing for a while, and we talked to the Noyes Library people because that's a good cause in the community," Frene said.

The cookie's design is inspired by the wood-carved owl perched atop Noyes's entrance, she said. 

This is Itsy Bitsy's second charity cookie — in September, the bakery sold train-shaped cookies to benefit .

"It was such a big success, we thought we would do another one," Frene said. "Now we're hoping to do a charity cookie each month."
