February Book Sale ResultsThe Friends Winter Book Sale generated $10,640 in proceeds through purchases and new Friends memberships and renewals. These proceeds will be donated to the Library for the purchase of books and new materials and support of Library programs. We thank all of our donors, members, patrons, and most especially our tireless volunteers who make these Book Sales possible.
Our next Book Sale will be held July 11-14. Check back for more details! |

Book sales feature hardbacks and paperbacks, titles for adults and children, fiction and nonfiction, plus a large selection of music CDs and vinyl records, DVDs, audiobooks, and hundreds of large print books. Prices range from $0.50 - $2. Special collection items included in the sale with local interest authors and titles, rare, signed and collectible items. Special collection items are priced individually.
Volunteers are welcome before, during and after all book sales and throughout the year. If you have some time to give, please call Diane Hughes (912) 264-4231 or siesta2975@gmail.com, or Martha Martin (912) 638-2588 or mgmssi@comcast.net.
If you have books, videos, DVDs, CDs, and records in good condition, the Friends can use them for future book sales. (No magazines, condensed books, games, or puzzles please.) Bring your donations to the Brunswick Library during regular library hours: Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, 9:30 am to 5:00 pm; and Tuesday and Thursday, 9:30 am to 8:00 pm. For additional info call the Brunswick-Glynn County Library at (912) 279-3740.
Don't forget that gently used books and materials are available year-round at great prices in the newly restocked, categorized and alphabetically sorted Friends Book Store at the rear entrance of the library. Proceeds from book sales and the Friends Book Store are provided to the library for the purchase of new books and materials. The Friends are the sole source of funding for these materials and we cannot raise these funds without the tireless efforts of the best volunteers any organization can hope for. Many thanks to all of you!

Tables of Content Dinner - PostponedWith much trepidation, the Friends board decided to break tradition and postpone our 30th TOC Dinner until next year. Even though we all look forward to this event, our profit barely exceeds the expenses. The authors no longer are willing to come without a fee. Until now, we provided their hotel (often donated) and meals and sometimes, a treat of a spa visit (also donated) or another activity. Gone are the days of speakers coming just to support libraries. In addition, it has become increasingly difficult to secure premium items for our silent auction. How can you help? We need a designated committee with a chairperson (or a co-chair) to provide new ideas and new energy. This would come with a promise of total support from us all. Think about it! |

Reading is FUNdamental (RIF) ProgramReading Is Fundamental is about to wrap up another great year. We have served 3 schools this year, Goodyear, Altama, and Burroughs-Mollette Elementary, and we are very pleased with the children’s reception. We have been to each school twice and each third grader has received 3 books. We have one more distribution scheduled in May and all the 3rd grade classes will come to the library for a tour and to receive another book. This program would not be possible without support from the Friends of the Library and a grant from Scholastic/RIF. We depend on wonderful volunteers to help set up, hand out, and inspire the love of reading. If you are interested in helping please give RIF Committee Chair Sally Easley a call at 513-404-1905. Volunteering is very easy and it's fun to see the kids' faces light up when they get to pick a book for themselves to keep! |
