2011 was a great year for the Friends of the Sherrills Ford Library, and I believe 2012 will be even better!
We concluded 2011 by taking part in December meetings with the architect and county officials regarding plans for our new library.
Details are now being worked out to gather input from the community (see below). I want to thank the members of the New Library Committee, the officers and our Board members for their very active participation in these meetings. We will continue to follow the progress on plans for the new facility.
“Thank You” to each of the FOL members who chaired or worked on any of our 2011 committees or programs. None of the things we do are possible without your hard work. I have watched the FOL grow and the outreach expand for several years, all due to your participation.
We start 2012 with an expanded Spanish lessons program beginning on January 14 and continuing on Saturday mornings through March 3. The Sherrills Ford Read is underway and will culminate on March 19 with a discussion led by Professor Tony Abbott. Also, Linda Greenwell is organizing a children’s books cleaning session at the library; details to
follow. These activities along with the elementary school reading programs, ongoing book sale, and other outreach plans will keep us busy in the new year.
Happy New Year!! Thank you for your support.
