Valuing the generosity of friends

Over the last three years, the Friends of the Delaware County Dis­trict Library have donated nearly $30,000 to the library, help­ing to pro­vide you with enhanced library pro­grams, ser­vices and prod­ucts. I think it is a remark­able achieve­ment, espe­cially when you real­ize that our Friends of the Library group was orga­nized only four short years ago. This group of ded­i­cated, hard­work­ing and enthu­si­as­tic vol­un­teers — more than 200, cur­rently — have held book sales, author and illus­tra­tor pre­sen­ta­tions, antique appraisal clin­ics and raf­fles to raise these funds, and they have been very gen­er­ous in shar­ing them with the library.
