On July 16 Friends of the Library (FOL) hosted an
appreciation luncheon to thank
FOL volunteers who worked at the last two book sales that
were held at the library. This includes setup
before the sale, eight days of the sale, and takedown after the sale. These book sales could not take place without
the time and efforts of many volunteers.
FOL volunteers also assist the library staff at other events and
activities throughout the year. The library staff was invited to join the
group in enjoying the lunch provided by Sugar N Spice Catering of Nixa. FOL President, Elizabeth Barns, presented gift
cards redeemable at Barnes & Noble as a thank you to these dedicated
volunteers for their contributions to the Christian County Library. One
volunteer, Haroldine Searle, was also presented with a plant as a special
recognition for the many hours she donates to FOL while working at the book
sales.
Volunteers are always needed. Joining FOL and participating in book sales,
or other activities, provides an opportunity to meet new people and have some
fun while helping the Christian County Library meet its commitment to the
community. For only $5 annually an
individual, or a family, can join FOL. Attending
a Friday evening “Friends Night” allows members to make their book selections
before the sale is open to the general public on Saturday morning. The next Friends meeting to plan the fall
book sale will be held on September 15 at 10 a.m. in the library meeting
room. For additional information contact
the Christian County Library at 417-581-2432.
