National Friends of Libraries Week
October 18-24, 2009
Friends of Libraries groups now have their very own national week of celebration! ALTAFF will coordinate the fourth annual national Friends of Libraries Week Oct. 18-24, 2009. The celebration offers a two-fold opportunity to celebrate Friends. Use the time to creatively promote your group in the community, to raise awareness, and to promote membership. This is also an excellent opportunity for your library and Board of Trustees to recognize the Friends for their help and support of the library. Read the full press release here.
