As a Friend of the Boerne Public Library, we hope you'll join us by showing your volunteer spirit! Sign up now to help us with our signature event!

  

Sign up sheets are at the library or you can email jeumberger@yahoo.com or clp1958@gvtc.com for more information.

Our fund raising goal at this year's book sale is $30,000, to commemorate the Friends' 30th anniversary. To reach this goal, we are selling table sponsorships!   We are reaching out to local businesses and individuals, asking everyone to give $100 to sponsor a table (or two or three!).  Would you like to sponsor a table?  For just $100, you can join the ranks of Friends' book sale supporters!!

When you sponsor a table your name will appear on an 8.5 x 11 sign and your name, or who you gave in honor of, will be announced over the PA system at the event four times a day over the three day period.

INTERESTED: Contact Judith Umberger at jeumberger@yahoo.com to arrange for your sponsorship. ALL CONTRIBUTIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

Our fabulous NEW building is ready!  We will be open the first Wednesday of every month from 9:00 until noon. Come browse through lots of gently used books at bargain prices and enjoy some refreshments!  Buy local and support the PHPL!

     

 NOTES

• Our next meeting is Friday, February 3 at 10:30 in the library.  Everyone is welcome. 
• We need boxes for packing books for the March sale. Any sturdy boxes you can donate would be appreciated.  If you're a Costco member, please get them in the back by the coffee or up front by the tobacco products. In addition, there are boxes with handles on the side that would be useful in the holding area.  So if you're making a shopping trip to Costco, please try to remember the Friends and pick up some boxes!  Thank you!
