Friends of the BFL 2011
Friends of the BFL is a group (a non-profit in a near future) of community members who are dedicated to promoting the library and helping it prosper and grow.
Though its inception was more than a decade ago, the Friends of BFL has been revived by a few inspired individuals in 2010. The groups aim is to raise the community’s awareness of, and involvement in, the library through special events, such as reading programs for children, guest speakers, book clubs and discussion groups. Additionally, the Friends will seek to raise funds to help the library with special projects.
Following board members were elected:
- Chris Carey (President)
- Dave Kirkpatrick (Vice-President)
