A Message From the Friends of the Library
Happy New Year! Thank you to all those who donated shoes. We kept 4 big
bags of shoes from going into the landfill, and on the feet of those in need. We
also want to thank Cook County Commissioner Donna Miller, and her staff, for
helping set up our shredding event. We also appreciate all the hard work of the
officers at the event. It was great to help so many patrons.
We enjoyed participating in the Trunk or Treat and Holly All Day, and hope the
kids enjoyed our treats. We are always looking for new friends and new ideas,
so please think about joining us or coming to a meeting. Follow our bulletin
board in the cafe area for any Friends news.
Sadly, the Friends of the Library lost one of their founding members, and
longtime treasurer Dick Whitman. He was a Friend to everyone he met, and will
be greatly missed. We are proud to purchase a brick in his honor.
