Dear Editor,

The Friends of the Alabaster Library is a group of dedicated booklovers that want everyone to know the benefits the library offers and how members can increase its effectiveness.

They have occasional fundraisers such as semi-annual book sales and promotions in cooperation with local merchants to raise funds for special books and activities such as the Summer Reading Program and the Storyline for Children.

They also maintain several areas at the library where books can be purchased at bargain prices. These are books that have been donated, so here’s an option for those books you no longer want in your private library.

For as little as $10 a year you can be a Friend and support the library. There are several levels of membership and always opportunities for a few hours of volunteering.

Be a Friend!

Application forms are available at the Library or at Cityofalabaster.com/friends-of-the-library/sp/81
