1. You may not know, but the Friends of GPL supports all of the above work. The #1 reason to support the Friends is because that support will help us continue to provide amazing programs for our community. It is in our daily interactions, in our programs, and in our events that real community is formed. Friendships are formed, excitement is shared, and suddenly a library is a little more like a second living room. A city is a little more like a community.
So if you were looking for reasons to attend our upcoming fundraiser on November 7th, we hope that one of these ten reasons speaks to you. But the fact is that there are as many reasons to support GPL as there are patrons walking through our doors. If you believe in the work being done at your library and want to see it continue, please consider attending The Holidays are Served. Only a few days remain to purchase tickets, but there is still room for you. Vino Villa is a wonderful venue, silent auction items will be available, and your ticket includes dinner, one glass of wine, and dessert. A delightful evening awaits you.
The Friends of the Library and I look forward to seeing you there. And thank you for supporting GPL!
