Things We Do
 

Used Book Sale -- Our Major Fund Raiser

Picture
Lake High School Wrestling Team

We thank the Lake High School wrestling team for helping to move the books from storage.  They are among the many volunteers who logged a total of 600 hours to  move, organize, and sell books.  Thanks to the dedicated members who give their time each year for this major fund raiser.  We always welcome new members to join us in participating in this and many other fun projects.

REMEMBER:  We collect books throughout the year.  Please bring donations to the Lake Library at 11955 Market Ave. N. during library hours.



Reading at Altercare

             Volunteers read at Altercare the first Friday of every 

             month.  We welcome all Friends of the Library members 
             to help with this very worthwhile and satisfying project.



Computer Tutors

              Need help with your computer skills?

     The Computer Tutors program offers free instruction for the beginner as well
     as those looking to upgrade their computer skills.  Friends of the Library   
     volunteers will answer your computer-related questions.  
     Fall, winter and spring sessions are offered at the library on Tuesdays 
     9:00 - 11:00 AM and 3:00-4:00 PM.  
     Participants with laptops are encouraged to bring them.


     



Alphabet Garden

     Volunteers planted and now maintain our garden for the enjoyment
     of the public.  Young children associate each letter of the alphabet
     with a corresponding plant as they enjoy story time in the garden.







Migrant Center

             FOL volunteers set up and maintain a library at the Hartville Migrant

             Center for children of seasonal workers.  The proximity of this facility to
             where they live provides the children with an opportunity to
             explore the world of books.   At the beginning of each school year, 
             we pack a book bag with required school supplies for each child.



Volunteer at the Library

  Friends of the Library members are often called on to volunteer at the library in 
  various capacities.   Under the direction of one of the librarians, you may find us 
  helping with library programs, shelving books, preparing materials for children’s 
  programs, or just being a much-needed extra set of hands. 









Book Bags at Migrant Center

       Each year the Friends of the Library 

       pack book bags for children of the 
       migrant center families.
