Dear Bloomingfoods,
You play a vital role in helping our wonderful Library continue its tradition of excellence, opportunity, and discovery. We appreciate the opportunity to participate in your Positive Change program in August. Thank you for your generous donation to the Friends of the Library from your many loyal Bloomingfoods’ customers. We are honored to recognize you in the circle of Friends contributing to an award-winning Library for everyone in the community.
We celebrate Friends like you who make a difference for the Library every single day. Libraries are places where communities connect—to things like broadband, computers, programs and classes, meeting and study rooms, books, movies, video games, and more. But more importantly, libraries connect us. I am filled with gratitude for Friends like you who give people opportunities to learn and grow by funding Library resources. We look forward to more opportunities to read, learn, connect, and create in the year ahead. Some upcoming Friends events:
Dine out for the Friends! Try a different restaurant each month. Next up: Choose from a diverse selection of breakfast, lunch, and dinner items centered around Cajun and Creole cuisine when you dine at The Uptown Café on Tuesday, September 23, 8 am to 9 pm. Show your flyer and Uptown will donate 20% of your bill to the Friends of the Library to help make amazing Library programs possible.
Shop at the Friends Bookstore. The Bookstore offers great bargains on books, music, videos, and art. Our literary-themed tote bags, socks, and pins make delightful gifts. The Bookstore is open five days a week, Tuesday and Thursday through Sunday.
Coffee with Friends. We welcome playwright Jennifer Blackmer for a talk on her upcoming play Predictor. Join us on Sunday, October 12 from 2-3 pm in Meeting Room 1B at the Downtown Library. Our wonderful Hospitality Committee will provide refreshments. This program is free and all are welcome!
For more regular reminders of Friends programs like us on Instagram or Facebook @MCPLfriends.
We are grateful for your gift that demonstrates how you value your public library. Thank you for your donation of $8,252.47 which is tax deductible to the full extent of the law. No goods or services were provided in exchange for your contribution. Thank you for being a Friend!
Sincerely,
Neil Klein
President
Friends of the Library
