NATIONAL FRIENDS OF LIBRARIES WEEK: October 18-24
"Friends of Libraries are non-profit, charitable groups formed to support libraries in their communities. Support from the Friends groups may be financial, political and cultural. Groups are separate from the libraries they support and made up of volunteers. Generally, groups are structured, handle finances and work closely with library management. Friends groups also work closely with the American Library Association." (description from the American Library Association)
We are so lucky to have such a wonderful group of Friends and we thank them for all that they do to support our Library!
