From the newly formed Friends of the Carroll Gardens Library:
Join Friends of the Carroll Gardens Library and make a difference to our neighborhood! Our first event is a book sale fundraiser on
Saturday, May 14, Love Your Library Day.
Friends of the Carroll Gardens Library recently signed its charter and has a
few goals: To support the library by fundraising and to help make the
Carroll Gardens branch a center of the community with programs for children,
youth and adults all year round.
With budget cuts and closings, our community libraries are under siege and
active community participation working closely with the library staff can
make a huge difference for our branch.
Our next Friends meeting is Wednesday, April 6th at 6:30 at the library,
corner of Union and Clinton Streets- all members of the community are
invited.
Our first big fundraiser will be a book sale on Saturday, May 14, Love Your
Library Day. We need volunteers to help out on the day of the sale, please
follow this link www.SignUpGenius.com/go/carroll/846077 to find out more
details and volunteer. The library already has donated books to sell but we
are soliciting additional donations of gently used books, feel free to drop
them at the library and the staff will direct you where to leave them. Our
goal for this event is to raise funds to buy new, low shelving and other
items for the children’s area – the staff has told us that this would be so
much more user friendly for young readers.
