Next Meeting-April 27th!!!!!

We will also be planning for ways to have a library “presence” at several, annual community events and fairs this year. All kinds of skills will be needed, from creative planning to designing costumes or maybe even building a float for local parades! If “doing” is of more interest to you than “meeting”, please get in touch so we can let you know when and where help is needed.

Finally, there are three projects in the works for FOUCL that will raise funds for library projects and keep them in the spotlight.
1.“Food for Thought” will be an innovative series of meals prepared around themes from books. Each “course” will be prepared in a different community over a series of weeks. Planning for this event continues at our April meeting!
2. This fall we hope to host an actor who is recreating the persona of Benjamin Franklin in honor of this Founding Father’s 300th birthday! Franklin’s message of the importance of books and reading for “the common man” is a message that is still important today.
3. We are moving closer to providing funds for a genealogy database that will be available to everyone in Union County at home and through their libraries. “HeritageQuest” will be available to us for a one year demonstration at a special rate.

If you love libraries, don’t be a silent partner! Join us as we work to help our libraries grow and thrive.

This month’s meeting: 5:30 pm, April 27
1119 Washington (across from Sunflower Books in UCEDC office)
La Grande, OR

An agenda is attached, hope to see you there!
