We've Moved!
FriendShop Grand Opening
Holiday Book Sale
Volunteer Opportunities
Become a Friend
Part II of our move was completed on November 5th when volunteers and JROTC members moved hundreds of boxes of books from the library Annex to the FriendShop. Super planning by Dani and Bob Vollmer helped the move go smoothly. Here's some pictures of volunteers having a good time!

THANKS TO ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS! The move was completed in record time and the FriendShop is BEAUTIFUL. Stop by and say hi!
The Grand Opening of the FriendShop along with the Holiday Book sale will be on Saturday December 10, 2011 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Grand Opening ceremony will start at 9:00 with the book sale immediately following. A volunteer sign up list is at the library and the FriendShop if can you can help that day.
Because we weren't able to have our July book sale, the Holiday sale is going to be HUGE! We are bursting with books from every category. It's recycling at its best with patrons getting great books at bargain prices, donors getting a tax deduction and Friends getting much needed funds for special library projects. It's the perfect place to do some holiday shopping! Bring you neighbors and buy some wonderful books. During the book sale there will be several other events taking place -
- Santa will be in the gazebo waiting to take the perfect holiday picture with the little ones. These 4x6 pictures will be taken by David Basarich, professional photographer with Boerne Photography. The photos will be immediately available for a small $5.00 donation.
- *Throughout the day there will be an opportunity to obtain raffle tickets for 5 special items. Tickets are $2 each or three for $5. You do not need to be present to win.

- And finally, because we're bursting with books, a $5.00 bag sale from 4-5 pm. We'll give you the bag and you can fill your bag with books**. You can buy as many bags as you wish and bags purchased at prior March book sales will be honored. Definitely, the best deal in Boerne!
SEE YOU AT THE BOOK SALE!
CHRISTMAS OPEN HOUSE
Did you hear? We're having a party! We hope all our members can join us at our Christmas Open House on Wednesday, December 14 from 2:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. A brief meeting will be held starting with welcoming remarks at 3:00 p.m. The slate of officers for the 2012 year will be presented for your approval.
