Million Dollar Goal
Met by Library Friends
Used
book sales organized by enthusiastic volunteers have raised a total of $1 million since the Friends of the New Hanover County
Public Library incorporated in 1983. Book sale shopper Doris Henry , shown (left) with Friends of
the Library President Wanda Canada , spent the dollar that crashed the million dollar mark at 12:47 pm Wednesday,
according to Assistant Library Director Paige Owens . " CONGRATULATIONS! Thank you everyone for helping make these sales both a fun experience for our community and
a tremendous help for our Library." said Library Director Harry Tuchmayer . In addition to the
hundred or so volunteers who work during the five days of the sale, about a dozen put in long hours every week, sorting and
pricing the donations readers drop off at library branches throughout the year. Book sale proceeds are turned over to the library
to enhance its collection and services beyond what is possible on funds budgeted by New Hanover County. Dues paid by
Friends of the Library members also add to what the library has to offer to the community for its educational, informational, cultural, and recreational
needs.

NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK APRIL 15-21
In honor of National Volunteer Week (April 15-21), we'd
like to share our sincere thanks and appreciation for what library volunteers do each and every day to contribute to
exceptional library service in our community.
Our volunteers are amazingly generous with their
time. But more importantly, volunteers are really part of a team that makes it possible for library services
to be delivered.
THANK
YOU!!

$10.00 for those who are current members of the Friends. This book is now available at all
