Friends come through again

On the Monday morning after Holden Days, volunteers were moving left-over children's books from the top floor of the library to the basement. And there were even more volunteers in the book sale room cleaning up after Saturday's big sale.

The Friends of Gale Free Library pulled it off again. They have organized and run another successful book sale for the library.

Being a volunteer for the Friends is a year-round job because we have donations coming into the library every day. All of those donated books and movies have to be sorted and shelved. When you have thousands of books being donated, you have to keep on top of them and you need a team of volunteers who will keep things organized.

I have often joked that our volunteers would make wonderful librarians because they abhor clutter and chaos.

Good friends are people who care about you and for you. They are people who will come to your aid and rescue you from a difficult situation. They are people who give and then ask if you want more. The Friends of Gale Free Library are very good friends. Thank you, dear Friends.

Jane Dutton, director
