The Friends of the Garden City Library held their Installation of Officer on Wednesday, June 13th. The celebration then continued with a very well-received concert from the Smorgas Band.

The Friends meet in the lower level of the library on Monday and Thursday afternoon from 1 pm to 3 pm to process book donations in preparation for book sales. Volunteers are always welcome. The next event they are now planning for will be a Pop-Up Sale on June 9th, outside the entrance to the library.  But you don’t have to wait till then to make a purchase, as the shelves in the Book Sale Area of the library are always stacked with tempting offerings that are updated twice a week-

The Friends are so very pleased to welcome back the Monday Movie Matinee, hosted by Steve Tobias. It was a time-honored weekly treasure prior to Covid-19.  Next Monday, at 3PM, they will be presenting “Death on the Nile” – an Agatha Christie “who dunnit”.

They are very grateful to all those who attend the sales, make donations of books and those who support the Friends financially by responding to the annual appeal letter that was sent out this week.  They make it possible for the Friends to continue their work of assisting the GC Library by underwriting the cost of Museum Passes, Children’s, Young Adult, and Adult Programs.
