Just a friendly reminder that Friends of the Lindenwold Library has a meeting this upcoming Saturday, June 15, 2019 at the Lindenwold Library.
The meeting is from 10:30am to 12:00pm.
2019 FALL BOOK SALE
Patrons asked, so we delivered! The 2019 Fall Book Sale dates have been set!
Thursday, October 10, 2019Â Â 12:00PM – 8:00PM
Friday, October 11, 2019Â Â 9:00AM – 5:00PM
Saturday, October 12, 2019Â Â 9:00AM – 2:00PM
So here are the dates and times important to the members and those interested in volunteering:
We will have our meeting after Summer Break on Saturday, September 28, 2019 where we go over all the things that need to be done during the setup (not any different from the Spring book sale). We will set up tables and sort all donated books into their respective locations.
Starting on Tuesday, October 1, 2019 through October 9, 2019 will be the setup. The first 3 days will be bringing in books from the shed, and the remainder of the time will be used to sort and organize the books.
As stated before, the tearing down of the book sale requires all able bodied members to come help move books back into the shed. If you would like to volunteer, please be sure to email me or go to our contacts page to drop us a note! Our sincere gratitude in advance!
The library will be open on October 12, and therefore the observance of Columbus Day will happen on Tuesday, October 15, 2019. The library will be closed on that day.
May 18, 2018 Meeting
Elections
We held our elections today for the 2019-2020 term! The term runs from June to May of the following year.
For President, Jaime A. was elected!
For Secretary, Mary M. was elected!
For Treasurer, our lovable Chris R. continues to guard the stash of gold!
Fall Book Sale
Believe it or not, the inquiry has already been posed to Brenda! People are looking forward to our Fall Book Sale already! Yay!
As of the meeting, the dates haven’t been hammered down, but we know it will take place either in the 2nd (10th-12th) or 3rd (17th-19th) week of October!
Treasurer’s Report
The Friends of the Lindenwold Library has provided $100.00 to Brenda, library supervisor, to buy botanical items for use at the library. There will be a blooming butterfly garden soon! Do come by and check it out!
Bonus, there is a little free library right behind the butterfly garden. Rule is, you have to trade for a book. So bring a book you no longer want and trade it for a book that looks interesting!
Summer at the Library
First and foremost, a reminder to everyone that the library will have limited hours during the summer. The hours will be posted, so please do stay tuned.
Some of the suggested activities at the library are as follows: (None of them are guaranteed, but if you really want to participate in any of them, please let us know at the library!)
- Build-Your-Own Pizza at Balsamo’s.
- Read to a Furry Friend
- STEM Projects, Arts, and Crafts centered on the theme: SPACE.
- Scrieving Drive
- Library School | Reading Hour – volunteers will read to interested parties a book (or multiple depending on the length) from inside the library! This will happen on Saturdays.
If you have any other suggestion, please feel free to comment on the post, tell us at the library, or give us an email!
Friends of Scouting | Garden State Council
According to the library supervisor, the library did sponsor/support this fundraiser a few years back. They’ve reached back out to see if we can help raise money for them.
If you’re wondering who the Friends of Scouting are, visit HERE for more information!
So we would like your help! Friends of the Lindenwold Library is considering donating $50.00. This will go to vote in our June meeting. If you will like to help us reach a goal of $100.00 or more, you can do so by dropping off your donation at the library in an envelope that clearly states that it is for the “Friends of Scouting.”
Your contributions are greatly appreciated!
Census Taker Training
It is paid, and the training for it will take place at the library this year.If anyone is interested, you can apply online by visiting 2020census.gov/jobs or call 1-855-JOB-2020.
And that’s it! I will see you on the next post!
