There has never been a better time to join Friends of the Shepherdstown Library (FOSL)! They are amazing! This group of dedicated volunteers works tirelessly to organize at least three fundraisers per year, including the annual Book Sale in May and the famous Rumsey Radio Hour in September. Through their efforts, the Library receives extraordinarily generous funding for the new library, children's programming, and so much more!
New members are always welcome.
Board elections will be held at FOSL's annual meeting in July. Contact
the Library for the date, time, and place. Open positions
include president and vice president.
We want to take this opportunity to thank outgoing President Larry Blash for his many remarkable years of exceptional service - thank you, Larry, for everything!
