Friends of the Library Bookstore makes record sales

With joy on the faces of both patrons and volunteers, the Bookstore and Boutique reopened on June 7 with recordsetting sales in the first week.

The group is grateful for the quick action taken by the volunteers and Board in closing the facility for assessment and repairs, to assure that the store was a safe place to work, browse and shop. The club appreciates the patience of its patrons, as well as the prompt and thorough corrective work performed under the auspices of GRF.

Volunteers have all been working diligently to check in books and related materials to get the bookstore's shelves stocked with all the new donations.

Marta Brounley, Friends of the Library Board vice president, is in charge of the boutique. She has worked after-hours and on weekends with her committee members to organize the boutique items to make certain that donations are displayed and presented in an attractive manner.

All of the boutique committee members also all work a regular volunteer schedule, as does Brounley. She works on Thursday afternoons. People are invited to wish her a happy birthday if they see her. Her energy, caring and talents are much appreciated by the Friends of the Library.
