Friends of the Library

There are two Friends of the Library groups. The first is "The Day Friends of the Library", which meet the 4th Monday of every month at noon. They have lunch and a program, and their president is Mary Lou Roark (886-5353). They support the library in various ways. For example, donating money for the Summer Reading Program.

The Night Friends of the Library has recently reorganized. Their purpose is to help the library by raising funds for supplies and furnishings, provide volunteers to assist the librarians with shelving, and organizing programs.

Upcoming:

The Hopkinsville-Christian County Night Friends of the Library will be hosting a panel event immediately following the 2009 Veteran's Day Parade, which will be held on November 7.

The panel will be led by Mike Freeland, author of Blood River to Berlin. There will be veterans from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Afghanistan and Iraq. Refreshments will be served. The Veteran's Day Parade ends at the Justice Center and it will be convenient for everyone to adjourn to the Library, which is right across the street. The event should last until 12:00 noon.

We hope everyone will come out and participate.

Sincerely,

Anita Tomberlin
Publicity Chairperson
