The Safety Harbor Public Library will be spending the week of October 20-26, celebrating their Friends of the Library group as part of the seventh annual celebration of National Friends of Libraries Week.
The Friends of the Safety Harbor Library, established in 2002 currently have 98 members, with 14 who actively volunteer their time to assist the group with fundraising efforts, including quarterly book sales, the Book Store housed inside the Library, and their Annual Basket Raffle Fundraiser occurring now through the first week in November. Twenty beautiful themed baskets valued from $80 - $450 can be viewed in the Library rotunda. Tickets are only $1.00 each, six for $5.00, or ten for $10.00.
“Our library is much richer with the Friends,” said library director Lisa Kothe. “The funds they raise allow us to offer programs over and above our city budget and really put the icing on the cake. Most library members would be surprised to learn how many of the services and programs they enjoy are supported by the Friends.”
