This week, October 18-24, is National Friends of the Library Week. We want to take the opportunity to say thank you for everything our Friends do for us! They fundraise for us throughout the year, including their annual book sale, they donate items to our collection such as award books and Wazoodles, they fund special programming, and more! We love our Friends of the Library 💗
