Skip presented a wonderful program today for our members and guests!

Thanks to everyone in my hometown of Carrollton, GA who came out to my talk “The powerful stories around us” today.
It was great to see old friends and make new friends at the Friends of Neva Lomason Memorial Library annual meeting!

Several beautiful design books have been donated to the Barker House. They're all like new and would make wonderful gifts at just $3 each!!

This showed up in my "memories" today. Seventeen years ago, many of the Friends faithful spent hours and hours (and days and days) cleaning up the Barker house, which we helped the West Georgia Regional Library System purchase. And look how far we've come!!!

We love our patrons and our volunteers at the Barker Book House who enable us to raise close to $2,000 every month for OUR Neva Lomason Memorial Library

Have you been to the Barker House lately?
Always a great selection of books, but look at the new craft items we have now!

Many thanks to the Carroll County Sertoma Club for their generous donation again this year! Our president Mary Jane did a great job telling members about the Friends and how we'll match their donation dollar-for-dollar to provide for our great Neva Lomason Memorial Library!

Another Brown Bag Sale is in the books! (No pun intended 😜)

And this was a big one: over 2-1/2 days we brought in $1,822 plus sold over $400 in books at the Barker Book House!! As always, everything we make goes to support our Neva Lomason Memorial Library!

Many thanks to our wonderful customers, volunteers, and Johnny Tanner at Tanner Grocery for keeping us supplied with the bags!!

We'll have another one in the fall, so stay tuned!!
