New Member!
It is with great pleasure that we welcome Kenya to the Friends of the Lindenwold Library. She had awesomely stayed on to help with the tear-down of our Fall Book Sale!
Secretary’s Report
Some of the sections in the shed have undergone some changes and have been relabeled accordingly. Hopefully it will help with the 2020 Spring Book Sale.
Our official Facebook Page is currently in progress.

Fall Book Sale
As some of you know, the political upheaval caused by the Republican Write-In Campaign for the November 5 Election taking place this year affected a lot of things in Lindenwold. While we weren’t part of it, we were heavily affected by it. Should the borough code restrict us once more during the 2020 Spring Book Sale, the Friends of the Lindenwold Library will need new ways of getting the word out to the community. This may be accomplished by:
- Asking property owners’ permissions to put signs on their properties.
- Attaching some flyers to the poles of major intersection stop signs in the neighborhood for a period of no more than 7 days. Whether or not this can be done has yet to be verified with the proper authorities.
Library Decorating & Friends Meeting
They will be held together on November 16, 2019 from 9:00am – 3:00pm. At 10:30am, a meeting will be called and held. After the meeting, members can return to decorating or leave for personal obligations.
Decorations will be brought to the library the week leading up to the Library’s decorating. There is also a new tree for the Christmas Tree Lighting Event.
What goes up must come down! Christmas Decoration Take Down date has been set for January 11, 2020.
Christmas Tree Lighting
For 2019, the date is December 6. The parade beings at 7:00pm and should arrive at the library around 7:20pm. The pictures with Santa will take place after that when Santa is set up and ready. Volunteers can arrive anytime between 3:00pm to 6:00pm to help set up and stay through the end of the program around 8:30pm.
We begin making hot chocolate as early as 4:00pm!
Project Elf
It is set for December 19, 2019 but it may change. Collection for the Project Elf packages happens between 3:00pm to 7:00pm on December 19.
The date for preparations has yet to be determined. Volunteers can sign up for the Preparation slots or the Distribution slots during the November meeting.
