Just this year alone they gave thousands of dollars towards Lego Robotics Kits for teens, a new sound system with wireless mikes for the meeting room, sponsorship of the authors and music for four Author‘s Nights, the entertainment for the three “Lunch on the Lawn‘s,” and the entertainment for the eight Wednesday “Family Fun Days” that run through June and July.
They also host a delightful Holiday Open House replete with hundreds of cookies, live music, and photo-op with Santa & Mrs. Claus (photos given free to the kids). This year the Open House is Saturday December 10th from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Be sure to stop in!
The Friends work hard to raise funds for all this support by hosting a Continuous Book Sale in the Library. It’s situated in the Computer Room on the second floor and consists of many shelves full of high quality books of every kind. New ones are put out every week by Dede Wissman. You could even get a few Christmas gifts! Just put your donation in the box.
Member Marilyn Robbins does her own fund-raiser - she makes beautiful bookmarks from greeting cards that sell for $1 at the Circ Desk. She’s requesting donations of old greeting cards to continue with her work! If you have a few please drop them off at the Library!
Everyone is welcome to join and to attend the meetings which are held the 4th Monday of each month.
