National Friends of Libraries Week

To the editor:
National Friends of Libraries Week is October 17-23, 2021. This is a great opportunity to thank all the Friends groups throughout the county, but especially the Friends of the Ethelbert B. Crawford Public Library, my home library.
Ethelbert B. Crawford Public Library has a small, but mighty group of volunteers who fund raise, advocate, and support the library’s efforts to meet the needs of our community.
Their fundraising efforts have provided a storage shed, podium with sound for our outdoor space, book packs for take out from the children’s room, engaging and interactive end panels for our youngest users, and so much more.
They have raised thousands of dollars to better the library and, therefore, our community. They raise awareness at booths and tables supporting library services at community events throughout the year. All of us are better off as a result of their efforts.
Each year the Board of Trustees honors one of those hard working people. This year, instead of honoring an individual, we will be honoring the Friends of The Garden at our annual event on Tuesday, October 12 at 5:30 pm.
Fittingly, this will be held in our beautiful outdoor space (weather permitting). The Friends of the Garden have planted flowers, weeded, mulch, and generally beautified this wonderfully inviting outdoor space. They volunteer their time throughout the year
If you’re not a friend of the library, you can join for as little as $5 if you are a student or senior. Other memberships start at $10. Please show your support for these hardworking friends. No matter what your home library is, you can support or supplement their efforts. Contact them today!
