Friends of the Bluffton Public Library will meet Wednesday, Nov. 3. According to Friends president Jan Potter, the meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. in the library's Richland Room. Officers will be elected for 2011 and finances for 2010 will be reviewed.

The organization will also discuss accomplishments from the past year and begin to coordinate volunteer activities planned for the upcoming year.

Some examples include the annual membership drive, a formal tea with Abe and Mary Todd Lincoln, spring and fall book sales, the Community Garage Sale, and a golf scramble.

The meeting is open to the public. Potter said, "This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the Friends of the Library. You may have never heard of the Friends or maybe you have paid your dues but have yet to attend a meeting. You will see how rewarding it can be to get more involved."

The Friends of the Bluffton Public Library encourage everyone who uses the library to make a donation and to share their time, energy, and ideas. You can join the Friends by making an annual donation of $5 or more.
