Memberships for May through the Book Sale were up 4.3% from last year, with
over 500 registered members of the Friends of Beebe Library. And, Book Sale
proceeds were over 2% from last year, our highest total ever.
Congratulations to Jody Sherman and the scores and scores of volunteers who
worked so hard to make the Book Sale a smashing success.
In a time of cut backs, it's gratifying that a group of dedicated volunteers
work so tirelessly to protect and support a vital town institution. The
Friends truly are dedicated to sustaining this excellent and important
resource. Lend your membership support to assist in maintaining the Beebe
Library's book collection and special services more than ever during this
time of economic challenges.
