Lora, who visits the blog from time to time to find out what we have eaten, reports that the Friends of the GNW Library is a newly forming group which will be affiliated with Friends of the SA Public Library. Locals may know that there had been a group called called GNW Library Friends (which I have mentioned here), however it appears that group has disbanded or something like that.
Regardless, the new group made up of some of the same folks I believe, is going to have a membership table at the 15th Anniversary Celebration event at the Great Northwest Library on October 17th from 10am to 3pm.
I won't lie and tell you that I hit our branch library on a weekly basis, but I will tell you that supporting it and supporting the Friends is certainly a worthwhile thing. Just the book sales that these folks put on to support the library are worth attending and supporting. The new Friends will continue the book sales as well as hold monthly meetings and volunteer opportunities to allow everyone to get involved.
Need more information: Go here and/or send me an e-mail and I can put you in touch with Denise Barlow, one of the folks organizing the event.

GNW Library Friends Booksale...
My wife and I had to make a short detour from Saturday morning Garage Sailing due to much needed and welcome rain putting a damper things, and we found ourselves wandering in and around a huge collection of mysteries, bios, how-to,
and children's books at the Great Northwest Library where the Library Friends are holding their annual book sale.
Members Denise Barlow and and Camille Fiorello were on hand to take our money for the stack of books, tapes and CD's we picked up. There really was a huge selection, and apparently, people continue to bring new donations in throughout the sale. 
You know, you can donate books for this event year round by simply talking to the librarian on duty.
As we looked through the stacks of books available for less than garage sale prices, we noticed one young reader trying to see what was available on the lower shelves.
I already have a stack of books lined up that I pick up from garage sales and never seem to get around to reading, but for the price, how can you pass it up? The good news is that the money spent on these books will help the Library Friends in their mission to support our GNW branch.
The Library Friends event continues Sunday from 1 to 4pm.
