Welcome to the Friends of the Library June-July Newsletter!
So much has been happening at our library! First, I want to tell you about our bargain BOGO Book Nook sale. It starts Thursday, June 2 and goes through the end of June (or whenever we run out of books). Take a look at the titles on the Friends' shelf by the front door, in the Book Nook, and on the tables in the walkway on the second floor. You will find a selection of new donations not seen before. Find that summer read you've been looking for. And, since most books are priced at 50 cents, the BOGO sale is not to be missed!!
The “Little Laundromat Library”, sponsored by the Friends, is extremely popular! The customers enjoy the variety of books that are on the shelves for adults, teens, and children! Some read a book while waiting for their laundry and others find an author they like and take it home to read later! The children especially love the choices that are there just for them. The stories they tell melt your heart! A special thanks to Charlie German for building these wonderful shelves for all to enjoy! Our motto is “Take one or leave one!” Come and see for yourselves! Maybe you will be there when a little child gets excited over a new book!
Many of you that have been to the library lately may have noticed a beautiful wall of art. Each one was donated and we sold 24 pieces through April and May! It was so successful that we will be doing it again next year. If you have a piece of art you would like to donate, think about us next Spring! All the proceeds go to the Friends of the Library and used to purchase new programs, books, and items necessary for our library. Thank you for your support!
The Friends are so thrilled to have new shelves in our workroom to make our jobs easier! Kent Hellman took time out of his busy weekend and put them up for us. We are so thankful for them since we get so many donations and now have an actual place to put them. Thank you, Kent! We really do appreciate all that you do for us!
We are still selling the Community Bashas cards for $10. Remember that your card will have $10 on it, so it will not cost you a single penny. Not only can you add money to your card repeatedly so you can shop for yourself, but you can also give these cards to someone as a gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, and other special occasions! The first 4 months of this year, Bashas sent our library a check for $1200! They pay us out of their pocket, not yours! Every penny goes back into our library! We are very thankful for what they do to support us!
If you have not stopped by Sweet Pea lately, you need to go and see what the library booth has for sale. There are not only books, but 45-vinyl records, lamps, dolls, knick-knacks and more. Ambie always puts her all into everything she displays on every single shelf. Over the past 4 months, sales at Sweet Pea have added up to over $1000! Every dollar helps us expand ideas for our library! So, stop on by!
Most everyone shops on Amazon. If you go to smile.amazon.com and designate Friends of the Library of Camp Verde, AZ as your charity, Amazon will send a small percentage of what you spend back to our Library. In the last Quarter, the library received over $50! We are happy to receive this free money!
There is so much more that we could mention of the happenings at our very busy library! Check out the Library website or Facebook page to find out more!
We have a big surprise for the next newsletter that you are going to LOVE! Till then have a GREAT summer! See you in August!
Your Friends of the Library
