ANNOUNCEMENTS
Newest Donation!
We received an anonymous donation of $5,000 for our Woodstock location earlier this year with a promised match of 200% by the Coca-Cola company. Just recently, Friends of the Library received the $10,000 from Coca-Cola which will be dispersed to the Cherokee County Public Libraries. Thank you to all involved! It is truly appreciated and our libraries will greatly benefit!

COVID-19 Update
Book Sales
The board of the Cherokee County Friends of the Library recently met to discuss the library book sales. Due to the current situation with COVID-19, book sales are being held in the Woodstock library. Please see the book sales tab for more information.
The Board is very sad to take this step since the libraries really count on the money from the sales. In the last year the Friends have been able to give approximately $25,000 to the libraries for materials and programs from the book sales, memberships and grants that the Friends apply for. So this is a big loss. That is why your membership is so important. The Friends have been receiving funds from grants to present to the libraries but that has changed too as companies are not bequeathing as much in grants due to the current situation.
Membership
In the meantime, if your Friends membership comes due, please renew your membership. One half of your membership fee goes to your library location that you signed up for. The other half goes to the Friends. Since the Friends are able to keep the expenses minimal, the fee is usually shared with the libraries for materials or programs. So the membership is very important to the libraries in Cherokee County.
Branch Hours
Please go to www.sequoyahregionallibrary.org/ for updated branch hours. Some branches are open on modified hours. All branches are still offering curbside service for patrons that want to check out books. Please contact your local branch for more information.
Hope our membership has been able to stay safe through all this and continues to do so.
Sincerely,
Marilyn V., Chairperson
