Happy National Friends of Libraries Week!

The Friends of the Fresno County Public Library was founded in 1980 to serve as a link between the public and the Library and to raise funds for special projects.

Today, the Friends do all kinds of fundraising and advocacy! We table when and where the Library can't to let people know about important programs and services, we sell books (and occasionally other things!) to raise money for programs and supplies, we connect with other community organizations and leaders... It's been a very busy year for us!

We'll be sharing more all week about what we've been up to, as well as how you can join us. Visit fresnofol.org for more information, or to join now!

We've got answers to some of the usual questions queued up and ready to go next week, but feel free to drop a comment if there's anything you'd like to know!

POSTCARD UPDATE! Lots of people have been asking where to get postcards, and we have no more at our office at this time! In the meantime, the following places have them at the moment, although we can't guarantee that that'll be true for long:

BB's Gelateria (2017 Tuolumne)
Judging By the Cover (617 N Fulton)
Fresno FOL Bookshop (5568 E Kings Canyon)
Bookish (520 W Olive)

We intend to have some at the Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, as well!

Keep in mind that you can find the files for the postcard art, talking points, and information on how and where to send a letter on any stationery you like at fresnofol dot org slash privatization!
