Please Join Me In Thanking 'The Friends of The Pennsville Public Library'!
Twenty years ago, several women noticed that the Pennsville Public Library could use a helping hand. There were always books to buy -- programs in need of sponors -- unexpected repairs to be made -- events to host -- rooms to build -- futures to improve and dreams to nuture.
These energetic women founded a new nonprofit organization who's sole purpose was to work side-by-side with both the Board and the Staff to make things better for our community. The Friends have sponsored trips, replaced broken vaccuum cleaners, painted rooms, purchased new computers, published newsletters, held annual flea markets and book sales, hosted teas, spear-headed raffles, organized art exhibits, sold pillows and coverlets and more. The list goes on and on and on and on........
Now that the Library finds itself in such dire budgetary constraits, The Friends have once again stepped up to the plate to purchase new books and periodicals. They are providing $1,000 per month in order for the patrons to have new titles to choose from when they come in for a visit. Truth-be-told, if it weren't for The Friends, there would be no new books purchased right now. The budget just doesn't support the necessary funds for new purchases.
As you can see, The Friends have been working tirelessly for the past twenty years to be in the position to help in such a generous and visible way.
We cannot thank them enough. We are truly honored and blessed that our Friends have supported us so consistently and so effectively over the past twenty years.
I hope you will join me on Thurs. January 19th at 6:30pm for a reception to honor The Friends of The Pennsville Public Library. We truly would not be here without their hard work and diligence.
It will be our pleasure to host this reception for our Friends. (not by the Friends, as is the standard arrangement.)
They so deserve it!
