Coffee and Tea @your Library -

Gales Ferry Library

checking the latest stock rating, or enjoying the current issue of a
magazine. Take a few moments out of your busy day to relax in your friendly
neighborhood library. We only ask that you not bring your drinks to any
computer stations. Thanks and enjoy!
A
Teen Friends of the Library group has also been

Since
1972, the Friends have worked to support the Ledyard Public Libraries of Ledyard,
Connecticut. We have served in many ways over the years. We have sponsored cultural
programs and social events, waged two successful library expansion campaigns, and raised
thousands of dollars to purchase the extras our basic budget could not afford. These have
included computers, software, display racks, signage, a video projection system, museum
passes, and materials for the collection.
Our primary fundraising
activities include our two book sales. The Gales Ferry sale is held in early June. In
September, we hold a larger sale at Bill Library during Ledyard Fair week. Recently, we
have added an Ongoing Book Sale at each library, so our patrons may enjoy shopping for
gently used books year-round. The Friends meet three or four times each year, to plan and
evaluate our sales, vote on expenditures, and socialize.
Throughout the year, Friend
volunteers are needed to help plan and publicize the sales, sort the many book donations
we receive, and work at the sales as cashier, set-up or clean-up crews. Willing hands and
new ideas are always welcome.
Wont you join us?
WANTED:
USED BOOKS, TAPES, CDs,
SOFTWARE
When its time to clean out
the attic or reorganize the bookshelves, please remember the Ledyard Library Friends. Our
book sales couldnt happen without your gently used books, tapes, CDs and
software. Before bringing your donations, please call the library for information on
times, places, and restrictions.
