Join us in celebrating the Friends of Fondulac Library during National Friends of Libraries Week, October 17-23! The Friends of FDL provide crucial support to the library through advocacy, financial support, and volunteerism. Our Friends are an amazing group of volunteers who dedicate countless hours of their time to the library. The Friends of FDL maintain our ongoing Book Sale and host the annual BIG Book Sale, volunteer for events like Star Wars Day and the FOLEPI Enchanted Forest, sponsor our summer reading programs and babysitting classes, and more! We’re so grateful for all they do!

The best way to support the Friends is to join them (annual dues are only $5), but there are many ways to support them throughout the year. This week, visit the library on October 20 to sign holiday cards for members of the U.S. military. Stop by the Clock Tower Bank on October 22 to meet members and learn more about the Friends’ services. Join the Friends to walk in the Veterans Day Parade on November 6 to pass out book sale coupons and give free books to veterans after the parade.

The Friends will also host their annual Holiday Gift Basket Drawing (for 3 family baskets) November 29 through December 12, and more treats, gifts, stocking stuffers, and handmade items will be available at the annual Friends of the Library Holiday Craft and Bake Sale on December 2, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and December 3, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Proceeds from the sale support the library and its programs.
