Friends of the Orange County Public Library

Dear Friends,

2024 is off to a great start for the Friends of the Orange County Public Library!

At our January meeting, we were proud to welcome William McLean to the board. His experience and interests will make him a great asset. We also appointed board members to audit the organization’s financial records and to update the bylaws.

All Friends members are welcome to attend our monthly board meetings. We meet on the third Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm in the library’s meeting room, with a Zoom option for those who prefer to attend virtually.

The agenda for the February 15th meeting and the Zoom link appear below.

Our next book sale will be held on Friday, April 5th – Sunday, April 7th, with a Friends Member-Only presale on Thursday, April 4th. We can always use extra hands for set-up on the immediately preceding Wednesday (April 3rd) and for take-down on Sunday. Look for volunteer sign-ups coming soon!

As always, thank you for being a Friend!

Sincerely,

Diane Kelly, President
