is to make it easy for everyone in Hall County
to take advantage of library services.

contributed another $1000 to support this
program. HCLS is extremely grateful for the
support of both these organizations.

Thanks to all the volunteers as well as
shoppers!
This year, we held our first “Dark and
Stormy Night Tales” storytelling event for
adults, which was extremely popular.
JULY 13
Proceeds from the Friends’ annual book sale support the
Summer Reading Program. We also support initiatives not
funded by the library’s regular budget such as staff training
and equipment purchases.
This year, the Friends have sponsored performances by
authors, Sharyn McCrumb and Carmen Deedy and purchased
new meeting room tables.
Friends of the Library memberships run for a calendar year.
We hope you will renew your membership now, or join us for
