The Friends of the Framingham Library take an active interest in the development and use of the library system, focus attention
on its needs as well as its services to the community, and provide items not included in the library budget. They organize and
run successful monthly book sales. They also sponsor
programs for children, teens, and adults; purchase books for the summer reading list; and
provide passes for museums.
You can support the Friends by
volunteering to help or by becoming a
member.

Friends Need a Little Help
The Friends of the Framingham Library are in desperate need of able-bodied volunteers who can help set up the book sale each month from 9:00-10:oo am on the Friday before the sale and to break things down from 2:30-3:30 pm after the sale on
Saturday on book-sale
weekends. This work involves lifting and stacking heavy boxes of books.
Please call Sally Drake at 508-877-7392 or email her at saldand@verizon.net.
New Sign
Have you noticed our new Ongoing Book Sale sign in the library lobby? The Friends are very thankful to volunteer Amanda Faucher for designing this terrific sign. Amanda is a graphic designer who is starting her own business from home. She can be reached at
www.abdesignservice.com. The Friends welcome volunteers who may not be able to do the physical work of sorting and shelving for book sales but who may be willing to help with other projects.
