Friends June Board Meeting

Hello Friends, Just a reminder of our Board Meeting coming up on Thursday, June 13th at 6:30 PM. All are welcome! Hope to see you there!

Thank you for book sale help

Heartfelt thanks to all of the Friends of the Lane Memorial Library who helped to make the Spring 2013 Book Sale a success.

Forty or so volunteers donated their time and energy to setting up the sale, selling books and raffle tickets, and breaking down the sale. Clean up was so fast I could not believe my eyes. Kris Sawyer and her team of book sorters cheerfully sort and arrange all of the book donations that come to the library year round, the wonderful library staff do everything they can to help with our constant requests, and the Friends board members have been supportive in numerous ways.

Congratulations and thank you to all who contributed. Your continued help and the generous donations that are made to the library are what make the sale possible. The book sale and raffle netted nearly $2800, along with $425 in memberships and renewals. As always, the money will be used to help support library programs.

We hope to see you at our next sale in November. The library accepts donations of gently used books, cds, and dvds whenever the library is open, year round.

Congratulations also go to Cindy Arlington, who won the Kindle raffle at the book sale.

Kind regards, Mary Ertl Spring Book Sale Chair

Children’s Room Summer Finale Request

Hello Friends,

The lovely ladies of the Children’s Room are planning their Summer Reading Finale and they were looking to see if anyone had any tents/gazebos that they could borrow. The type that they need are the open-sided ones that you usually see at farmer’s markets. The finale is on August 7th. If anyone has any that they would be willing to donate for the day or know of someone that could help out, please contact Julie at gibb.juliea@googlemail.com. Thanks in advance!

Thanks,

Wendi Lewis President, Friends of the Lane Memorial Library

Friends Book Sale Volunteers

Hello All,

We are still looking for a few more people to help us out with the cleanup of the book sale on Saturday, June 8th at 12:00. The more volunteers, the faster the clean-up; typically about an hour, could be less with more people. If you are interested in helping, please contact Mary at maertl@comcast.net.

Thanks,

Wendi Lewis President, Friends of the Lane Memorial Library
