FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY WARRAGUL

WELCOMES NEW MEMBERS 

 

YOUR LIBRARY NEEDS YOU!

 

Community members supporting their library!

 

  

WHAT DO WE DO?

 

Members help improve the library for the whole community by raising funds towards more books and other things the library needs. The West Gippsland Regional Library Corporation works wonders with its budget, but extra contributions from Friends’ groups do make a difference.

 

Since we were set up in the early 90‘s, funds raised have been spent on the following items to help improve the library for all users including our library staff.

 

Computer terminal

Audio books

Comfortable chairs

Genealogy CD-ROMs (Indexes)

Listening post for CDs

Music CDs

Folding tables

 

Our fundraising activities include raffles and cinema afternoons, with the major one being our Annual Monster Book Sale (withdrawn library books and donations) in November.

 

As well as the book sale, some of our members help with mending, online catalogue training, preparation of books for book sales, helping at events such as ‘Writers on the Road’ and various other tasks as required by staff.  This work is much appreciated by staff and builds a closer relationship between staff and ‘Friends’.

 

WHEN DO WE MEET? 

 

The ‘Friends’ meet at 7.30 pm at the Library on the First Wednesday of every month, except January and sometimes one or two winter months. These are open meetings and all members are welcome to attend. Often we have interesting speakers on wide-ranging topics and all Members receive a monthly newsletter.  Prospective members are most welcome at any time.

   

Subscriptions are per calendar year March – February, $10 per person or family.
