Be a ‘Friend of the Library’

1506

Friends of Bossier Parish Libraries took the month of July off to enjoy being with family and friends. Having rested up, they will now begin preparations at this month’s meeting for the last quarter of the year.

During 2013, the Friends sponsored and supported many library projects and we are grateful for their generosity. Board members have given their personal time and worked hard to raise money for library activities and events.

VickieHardinSome examples of the what exactly they do for the libraries includes providing financial support for the Children’s, Adult, and Teen Summer Reading Programs; purchasing board books for the Books for Babies project; donating money to the History Center; hosting the annual Authors & Friends event in February; participating in the library expo; financially supporting Teen Services programs; preparing free workshops for the public; and sending out a quarterly newsletter.

If you would like to become an advocate for the library the Friends of the Bossier Parish Libraries invite you to join them. Because it is a nonprofit organization dues and donations are tax deductable. An application can be printed from the library website at www.bossierlibrary.org or stop by any branch and ask for one. You can also contact me at vhardin@bossierlibrary.org.

Book it to the Bossier Libraries to become a Friend of the Library.

Correction:

In last week’s column under Make a note, it read: “Family Story Time resumes on Saturday, July 27, at 11 a.m. at Bossier Central Library.” It should have read that Saturday Family Story Time will resume in September, and it will take place on the 2nd Saturday of each month.
