Friends of the Brentwood Library couldn't be prouder this week, after receiving two proclamations from the City of Brentwood during last night's commission meeting. In one, the City of Brentwood proclaimed October 18-24 as Friends of the Library Week, urging all citizens to "join the Friends of the Library and thank them for all they do for the library and the community."

In the second, the city proclaimed October 14 as Friends of the Library day, congratulating the organization on its 50th anniversary milestone this year.

A coalition of Friends members, members of the library board, and library staff were in attendance to share in last night's proclamation honors -- all of whom work together to make the John P. Holt Brentwood Library a shining example of true service for our community.
