As Ron Weasley said in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, “When in doubt, go to the library”. And there are so many reasons to visit one of my favorite places, not the least of which is to volunteer. Most libraries have a Friends of the Library group where interested patrons can do a variety of projects to help support and fund their library. At the Plano Library (15 West North Street in Plano), the Friends staff several large book sales a year. Funds raised are always part of the monies given for the Summer Reading programming. Members also are a huge part of the annual Christmas Tea held each December where they might bring in treats or appetizers for the event or man the kitchen and keep those snacks coming out to the waiting attendees.
Every Library has different responsibilities for their Friends groups but always the end result is supporting your local library and in doing that, support books, literacy and the beauty of reading.
