October 20-26 is National Friends of Libraries Week! This week is a time to celebrate and show appreciation for our Friends of Fondulac District Library, an amazing group of volunteers who dedicate countless hours of their time to support the library.
This fall, the Friends of Fondulac District Library are hosting and participating in a variety of events and programs. Visit the library this week from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. or 4 to 6 p.m on October 23 to sign holiday cards for members of the U.S. military. Stop by the Clock Tower Bank any time between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. on October 25 to learn more about their service. The Friends also will be walking in the Veterans Day Parade on November 9 at 1 p.m. to pass out coupons for books from their ongoing book sale. Free books will be given to veterans after the parade. Starting November 30, the Friends will host their annual gift basket drawings. Visit the library to sign up for a chance to win a basket full of fun seasonal items. More treats, gifts, stocking stuffers, and handmade items will be available at The Friends of the Library Holiday Craft and Bake Sale on December 5 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and December 6 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Proceeds from the sale support the library and its programs.
In addition to these events, the Friends help support the library by facilitating the BIG Book Sale, sponsoring programs like summer reading and babysitting classes, and volunteering for events like Star Wars Day and the FOLEPI Enchanted Forest. New members are always welcome, and membership only costs $5 per year! Learn more about our amazing Friends at fondulaclibrary.org/support-fdl/friends/!
