Come take advantage of the Preview Day and bring a friend to join the Friends! Annual memberships with the nonprofit Friends group are $10 for individuals and $15 for families living in the same household. Individual lifetime memberships are $100. Membership forms will be at the Book Sale and also can be downloaded at polklibrary.org/support/friends. The Friends’ Book Sales are the primary fundraisers for the nonprofit Friends group with all proceeds going to support library projects and initiatives such as the summer reading programs, special events, professional development opportunities for library staff, appreciation events for library volunteers and free programs for adults and children.
Many volunteers are still needed to help set up, publicize, staff, and break down the Fall Book Sale. If you can volunteer, please contact Friends Board President Kevin Reynolds at [email protected].
