Last week’s annual Friends of the Library Book Sale was a resounding success. The Friends worked hard all week preceding the sale to sort and organize the over 9,000 items that were donated for sale. They arranged and classified hundreds of titles. They solicited local businesses for raffles. They were up early and stayed late. And the results of their labors were record breaking profits! Many thanks and much appreciation goes to this dedicated and devoted group of men and women whose mission is to support the Library by presenting programs and purchasing materials outside the scope of the tax-approved budget.

Some of their recent contributions include the grand piano in the auditorium, the oversized computer screen that displays program announcements, a caterpillar display unit in the Family Center and the donation of seed money for the Bea Shacknow garden. The Library Board and staff thank the organization for being real “Friends of the Library,” and urge others to join them. The Friends meet monthly on the first Wednesday, and invite to become a part of their vibrant group. Make a difference in the community – join the Friends!
