And they're off!
The summer is here and The Friends Of Boerne
Library are out of the gate faster than I'll Have Another trying to win the
triple crown! Books sales, Wonderful Wednesday and book signings have all kept the FOBPL volunteers busy this past month.
We sold approximately 725 books and 500 people came to see our
wonderful new store! Isn't that amazing?
To help get the word out, The Friends of Boerne Library has a new Facebook page!
