BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Since 2005, the American Library Association has promoted National Friends of the Library Week during the third week of October to celebrate and promote friends groups who support libraries across the country. This year marks the 20th Annual National Friends of Libraries Week, encouraging communities to raise awareness and promote membership to their local libraries and friends groups.
Since 1979, the Friends of the Lodi Public Library (Friends) has supported our local public library in a variety of ways. From running the Friends bookstore, to promoting the Library at local fairs and community events, to organizing fundraisers that bring much needed aide to support many Library programs for children, adults and pets. During National Friends of Libraries Week, we express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for Friends of the Lodi Public Library and their invaluable contributions to our beloved library. During this week, and year-round, there are always membership opportunities, volunteer opportunities, projects and many other ways to participant with Friends to further their goals for Lodi Public Library.
Mayor Bregman will present the proclamation to the Friends of the Lodi Library.
