Jana Beebe, FOL acquisition lady is currently reviving up for the Playaway $10,000 contest. You are in for a “big” surprise. We hope she wins so we can fill up the little mean green book carts with more playaways.
The Friends of the Library is a strictly volunteer group of dedicated souls that volunteer their efforts and time to the library. There is always a place for new volunteers. The Friends perform many activities in the library such as shelving, “reading” the shelves, organizing magazines, covering books and whatever our beloved library director needs to have done.
The Friends hold at least one book sale a year, which acts as the primary fund raiser for the library. With the proceeds of the sale, the Friends purchase books, DVD’s, audio books and bind newspapers for posterity.
The Southwest Collection, in case you have not had an opportunity to browse it, was started and continues to be nurtured by the Friends. It is very comprehensive in its coverage of all topics pertinent to our area.
The Friends of the Library also sponsor at least one event a year at no cost to the public. This usually consists of an author’s presentation or someone that is an expert in a field that would be of interest to people in the community. Watch for our next program announcement.
If you are interested in becoming a member of the Friends, please contact President Kathy Walls.
