National Friends of the Library Week

National Friends of the Library week is Oct. 20-26. The Friends of the Leisure World Library runs the bookstore adjacent to the LW Library. The volunteer group supports the library financially to augment resources and sponsor cultural programs.

Over 40 Leisure Worlders volunteer their time each month to process and sell the community’s generous donations of books and various household items.

For most, it’s a labor of love but a thank you or two are always appreciated, said volunteer Patricia Kruger. New volunteers are always needed. People who enjoy working with congenial coworkers and customers are encouraged to volunteer.

The bookstore is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
