Friends of Clapp Library hold annual meeting

11/5/2015

 
The Friends of Clapp Memorial Library held their annual membership meeting and board elections on October 23rd at the Library. Outgoing President Paul Geoffroy, on behalf of the Friends, offered thanks and praise to all those who volunteered and helped to make this past year successful. He highlighted the amount of work that goes into the biannual book sales. By his calculations, each sale takes over one hundred volunteers and more than two thousand hours to accomplish. These dedicated volunteers allow the Friends to support the many worthwhile programs and services provided by the Clapp Memorial Library. Geoffroy also summarized items that were provided by the Friends throughout the past year including:
  • The new book drop box
  • Passes to area museums
  • New dies for the Ellison machine
  • New CD player for story hour
  • Carpet cleaning
  • Wireless scanners for circulation desk
  • Chairs for the circulation desk
