Hi all.
 
I noticed on our call this morning there were some folks that did not know about the Friends of library access, or were not that familiar with it   so I thought I would post some info about
It again to both refresh and enlighten everyone regarding who we are, and what we do.
 
Please share with anyone you think would be interested.
 
Thanks.

Since its inception in 1992, we have helped this Braille and Talking Book Library continue its service of excellence through key equipment purchases and community awareness activities.  In appreciation of the volunteers, we have sponsored annual volunteer appreciation luncheons, and other continuing activities and awards for their invaluable service.  We have also assisted consumer organizations in successful advocacy for continuation of sub regional Braille & Talking Book Libraries.
