Thanks to Everyone, the Book Sale Was a Great Success!
Thanks to the efforts of a lot of volunteers, a whole new Friends committee and many, many wonderful donations, the recent book sale was a huge success. The event, chaired by Bob Conner and his crew of willing workers -- who spent MANY hours sorting, organizing and selling -- raised funds to enhance library services. The library board and staff are very grateful for the efforts of so many to support the library. THANK YOU!

Sale hours:
Thursday, February 21 10 to 8
Friday, February 22 10 to 4
Saturday, February 23 10 to Noon. ($2/bag day!)
Our new Friends group is growing! Led by Amy McConville, Joanne Corsica and Carol Brust ... along with a host of other "helpers" ...they held a great Holiday Raffle with prizes from a number of local merchants and groups. The prizes were awarded to a lot of happy winners, and it was a good way to connect the community and the library.
In February, they are planning a Book Sale. It is scheduled to run from Thursday, February 21 through Saturday, February 23. Many people will be glad to hear that, since it has been a while since the last one was held. So, start stock-piling those books that you would like to donate to the sale. We will begin collecting donations at the beginning of the month.
They are always looking for volunteers. Feel free to stop at the circulation desk and give your name and contact information if you would like to join the group to support library services.

The Friends are at work again...
We are happy that there is a new group of interested volunteers who are exploring ideas to continue the good work that the Friends of the Library have done in the past. A core group of people is working to develop some programs and fundraisers... they would be glad to have YOUR help!
If you have an interest in working with the Friends of the Library -- particularly in planning and organizing -- please contact us at the library and we will pass your name to the committee.
It is a wonderful way to ensure that the library can continue to offer more services and programs.

Talkin' About the Friends... Coffee and Conversation
We need YOU!On Wednesday, October 3 at 4 PM, there will be a coffee hour to talk about reorganizing the FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY group. Anyone who has anything to contribute to the discussion about how to go forward with Friends' activities is welcome.
You do not have to make any commitment to the group, just add your ideas to the mix. It is simply a brain-storming session to revitalize the group.
The Friends have been responsible for funding many of our special programs... summer activities and entertainment for children and their families, extra equipment like computers, a digital projector and other technology, and underwriting the summer's Firefly Concert Series with the Library Board.
In the past, they have held two large used book sales each year as well as monthly luncheon programs. These are very popular, and have raised significant funds for the library's services.
We will talk about continuing the Friends' activities as in the past OR perhaps taking off in a new direction. We NEED the Friends, especially in this time of decreasing funding from the town. We need YOU to make it happen.
Please consider joining us at the coffee hour. Bring a friend who loves the library, too!

Friends Activities Temporarily Suspended...
It is with some sadness that we post this notice. The Friends of the Library group is temporarily suspending its activities due to lack of volunteers. The officers of the group have served valiantly for several years and have tried without luck to find replacements.
We hope that in the fall, we can find people who would be willing to lead the group as it continues to provide funding for "extras" that our library budget does not allow -- including special programs for children and families for the Summer Reading Program as well as the Firefly Concert series. Without the support of the Friends of the Library, we will not be able to continue to offer the high quality programming that we have had in the past.
For now, there will not be any luncheon programs and the spring Book Sale will not be held.
If you would like to help reinvigorate the Friends of the Library group -- and would enjoy the knowledge that you are making a significant contribution to the community -- please contact us at the library. We'd LOVE to hear from you!
