Thank you very, very, very much

The Friends of the Ketchikan Public Library held their annual book sale this last weekend, and it was a huge success! They raised over $5,200 in sales, $170 in memberships and more than $100 in donations for the New Library Building Fund. The library would like to send out a few thank-yous:

• Teresa Chenhall, for coordinating this year's sale
• The volunteers who transported, sorted and sold books
• The TAG members, who cleaned up all the unwanted books after the sale
• Dan & Sue Greer, who have come to the library on a weekly basis for the past year sorting, boxing and transporting all the donations we've received
• Debbie Gravel, for her eye-catching publicity posters
• The staff of the Plaza Mall
• All the community members who have donated their much-loved books, CDs, videos and audiobooks for the sale. Without your generous donations, there wouldn't be a book sale.

With the money they raise during the year, the Friends provide financial support for:

• Born-to-Read program
• Teen Advisory Group
• ListenAlaska free audio download service
• Summer Reading Club
• Author visits
• Kids Pick the President voting drive
• Preschool Christmas Party
• Haunted Ghost Town Halloween night

Thanks again to everyone...it's great to have such good Friends!
