News from Friends

Important Notice about Our Museum Passes:

Gary Garrido Schneider, Executive Director of Grounds for Sculpture, notified the Friends of the Library that museum passes for Grounds for Sculpture will no longer be offering the Library Pass Program effectively immediately.

The Friends purchased two passes for the Library. One expired on October 31, 2019, so the Library will only have one pass available for circulation until May when the second pass expires.

Visit the Main Library for your next culture pass, courtesy of the Friends of the Library--there are many more to visit. Most Museum Passes circulate like a book for five days. Check our online catalog for availability of passes.

Volunteer Hours for

Young Adult Book Reviews

You asked, we listened. For those in need of more community service hours, you now have another option! Here’s how it works:

You read a book at least 100 pages in length.
You fill out the form we provide in the library, which includes information about the book, and a 1.5-page review (I.e., Half of the front and the entire back of the page) of the book.
Turn the form in--with a week for us to process your entry--we can we give you one hour of community service for every 100 pages read. So if you read a 374-page book, you get three hours.

That’s it. It’s easy!
