Happy New Year Friends,
I hope everyone was able to stay safe,warm and dry the last week of December.
I
am your new board President. Joining me this year is Vice President
Kathy Bolles, Treasurer Charles Browne, Secretary Carol Schuyler, and
returning members, Linda Meier, Joan Chandler, Charlene Selvar, Judy
Ruliffson, Loanne Harmeling, and Barbara Erickson. We are happy to
welcome new members Sandy Kress and Merry Palmer.
Our next board meeting will be on January 18 and I invite you all to reach out to me with any questions you have.
2021
was a successful year for The Bainbridge Island Friends of the Library.
$62,500 was added to the endowment, which was created in 2007 to
provide ongoing secure income for the library. In addition $4,200 was
donated to children's projects including the very popular summer reading
program. $600 for teens and $3,000 for general library needs.
Of course, those donations are only possible because of you all. Thank you, thank you!
Our next sales are scheduled for January 9, January 17 and January 30th.
We
are continuing to sort books MWF from 10-2 and welcome anyone who would
like to come in to do so. Please remember that masks are still
required.
Looking forward to seeing you in the book room,
Betsy Bidinger
