October Meeting

The Friends' next meeting is October 6 at 9 am in the library's Community Room. We welcome new members and encourage everyone to attend. We will finalize details for the Oct. 16 wine tasting and get an update on the Nov. 9 house tours. 

Tickets for both events are available at the library. Wine tasting tickets are $15 each or two for $25; they must be purchased by Oct. 14. House tour tickets are $35 in advance or $40 at the door.

Gift Baskets at Library

The Friends are auctioning off six gift baskets in conjunction with the wine tasting. The auction will end October 17, the day after the wine tasting. Themes for the baskets are: Mommy's Time Out; Life in the Fast Lane; Grill, Baby, Grill; Kitchen Edition; Domestic Bliss; and Family Night in the "Den". Each basket is valued at over $100. We'll have a full list of what is in the baskets posted later this week but check them out at the library and make a bid! Thanks to all who solicited gift certificates and purchased items to make these possible. 

Dover Days a Hit!

Thanks to all who volunteered and/or stopped by to support the Friends at Dover Days. We sold books as well as wine tasting and house tour tickets. It looks like there is a lot of interest in both upcoming events so get your tickets now! We also got our opening bids on the gift baskets so keep checking in at the library to make sure you win what you want.

The Friends at Dover Days

Be sure to stop by the Friends' booth at Dover Days. In addition to books, the Friends will be selling tickets to the upcoming wine tasting (Oct. 16) and house tour (Nov. 9). This is a great chance to get your tickets early. Wine tasting tickets are $15 per person or $25 per couple; the house tour tickets are $35. Also, we will have on display in the library gift baskets for silent auction. Come check them out and make a bid!

Books Needed!

We need your books! The Friends of the Library is collecting books to sell at its booth at Dover Days. Please bring books in good condition to the library by September 18. Books may be dropped off in both the upper and lower level lobbies. A great way to clear out clutter and help the library!
