2007
FOSL Donations In Review
The
Friends of Smyrna Library goals are:
1. Sponsor and promote activities, events, projects, etc.,
which will encourage members and the general public to use
and support the library.
2.
Provide funding for these programs,events and projects and
also for special additons to the library collection.
During 2007 the Friends purchased bookbags for the approximatley
400 children who participated in the Summer Reading program
at the Smyrna Public Library.
The Friends were pleased to be able to give the bookbags to
the readers and see their excitment about the bags. Not only
was this a benefit for the children but the Friends and the
Library became more visable within the community with the
children carrying the bags.
The Friends purchased two wireless laptop computers
for library patrons to use at the Library.
With
a Smyrna Library card and an additional form of I.D. a patron
can check out the laptop. During the month of October these
laptops were used by 200 patrons.
The Friends purchased several large sets of reference books
for the library.
The Friends also provided funding for part of the Children's
Summer Reading program and set up a fund for the Children's
Librarian to use to purchase books for the children.
In recognition of the valuable service to the citizens and
the library the Friends gave the staff an appreciation
lunch.
As alway the Friends have provided some great programs at
the library in the past year.......the plant swap and program,
backyard birding, Dr. Joseph Kitchens and Native Americans
in Georgia and the Dixie Divas are just a few.
Thanks
to our many supporters whose donations made all of this and
more possible.
