October 17-23, 2022 is National Friends of Libraries Week

The Putnam County Public Library will be spending the week of October 17-23, 2022, recognizing its Friends of the Library group as part of the 16th annual celebration of National Friends of Libraries Week.

 

The Friends of the Putnam County Public Library Library are a group of invested individuals who pay a membership fee and dedicate generous volunteer hours to supporting the library. Currently over 100 community members contribute annually to the Friends, and several of these contributors actively volunteer their time to assist the group with fundraising efforts that include maintaining the Friends of the Library bookstore, organizing and planning the annual Touch-A-Truck fundraiser, and pursuing eligible avenues for fundraising for the library.

 

The Friends of the Library generously support the library’s annual Halloween Party by purchasing 500 books for children to give away at the event. They also fund the library’s movie license, Summer and Winter Reading Programs, and programs and activities for children, teens, and adults.

 

Please contact the library at 765-653-2755 or visit pcpl21.org/about/friends to learn more about the Friends of the Library, and to find out how to become a member.
