At the November 20 Library Board meeting Friends presented a cheque for $65,000 to the Library. Friends raise funds for the Library through memberships, the annual Library Book Sale, operation of The Library Store, and special fundraisers such as Speaking With Friends. Donations from Friends provide enhancements to library programs and services, with a special focus on children’s literacy programming like Summer R.E.A.D. in English and French, TD Summer Reading Club and Family Literacy Day.
