Many Thanks: The FOL Board is pleased to report that 2020 and 2021 donations plus responses to the fund-raising efforts have netted substantial funding. These funds will help to make a significant fraction of the FriendShop's customary revenues which have been unavailable due to the book store’s closure as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. A big thank you to all our generous donor-members! Your help supports the Library’s purchase of new books and the many online programs created by Library staff.
Library Director Jeff Vogel reported in 2020 that “The library’s book budget has been suspended due to the current situation, so the Friends support is more crucial than ever. Normally, income from the Friends accounts for about 30% of the library’s overall book budget, but right now it is a 100%. We would not be able to buy any new books without the Friends, but it is a finite resource because the bookshop isn’t bringing in new revenue. We really appreciate your ongoing support of the Friends!”
