Membership
The room at Woodstock has allowed us to continue raising money for the libraries. While we work on creating other opportunities for sales, we continue to rely on memberships and grants. Keeping our membership up is very important, please see the Become a Friend and About tab to learn more! The FOL have been receiving funds from grants to present to the libraries but that has not changed too as companies are not bequeathing as much in grants due to the current situation.
