FRIENDS OF FLOSSMOOR LIBRARY


Read a good book?  We'd like to know.  Send your book recommendation (author and title),

the genre (fiction, how-to, non-fiction, etc.) and why you recommend it (keep it brief) to flossfriends@sslic.net

along with your name, town, and email address.  Add your age if you are under 18.  We may post your

name, town and recommendation on the Friends web page.

 

Looking for a volunteer position?

The Friends of the Flossmoor Library are seeking volunteers to run for office, to help with our used book sales and other projects.  The time commitment can be as low as 1 hour per month or as high as 5 hours per  month.  We need your help.  If interested, email flossfriends@sslic.net or leave a note with a librarian. 

MISSION STATEMENT

The Friends of the Flossmoor Library is an independent, non-profit, membership-based organization
that supports the work of the Flossmoor Public Library.  We raise money for the library, contribute programs (that are reflective of the varied interests and background of patrons) and raise awareness of its great work. We purchase books and other resources for
the collection at the library's request.  We also contribute to many of the value-added items that make the library an inclusive, comfortable, fun place.


WE RAISE MONEY PRIMARILY:

  • through memberships (individuals and families joining)
  • proceeds from the used book sale
  • tote bag purchased (buy one at the Patron Services Desk for $7)


PAST CONTRIBUTIONS--The Friends purchased or sponsored:
Civil rights DVD
Genealogy program
Reception for Elizabeth Berg
Draw the Flossmoor Library competition (including
framing of the winning picture)
Library refrigerator magnets and new library cards
Coffee and Conversation
Summer reading program tee-shirts
