THAT’S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR

Did you know that public libraries are prohibited by law

from purchasing with property-tax dollars many things

that we’ve all come to expect in our libraries?

To fill what would otherwise be a void, the Friends of

the Lawrenceburg Library District was formed nearly

20 years ago. Friends of the Library is a grass-roots

non-profit organization whose members volunteer their

support for our libraries in many ways, including

fund-raising efforts.

For example, Friends of the Library funds the entire

spectrum of library programs and activities so that no

one ever has to pay a fee to participate and enjoy.

For example, Friends funding includes craft and cooking

class supplies, speaker and program presenter costs,

refreshments, film licensing, and many costs associated

with reading programs for children, teens and adult.

As needs and ideas arise, Friends also purchases items

such as furniture and equipment, educational toys and

furnishings, and plantings for entries and courtyards.

Friends raises money through dues and donations; the

collection and sale of used books, magazines, DVDs

and CDs; and the Great Bake Sale.

The organization will hold its final

2018 meeting at 5 PM Tuesday,

December 4, in the Ewbank

Meeting Room at Lawrenceburg Library. Please join us

there and learn how you can contribute a little or a lot,

whatever works for you … time, talent, money, leader-

ship, discussion and decision-making about how the

library uses Friends dollars.

See you there!
