Year In Review<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Elizabeth Hein, 2018-2020 President of the Friends of the Durham Library<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Friends of the Durham Library support the library in three ways: staff proposals, ongoing programs, and staff scholarships. In 2019, the Friends funded $10,500 in special staff projects that helped drive innovation and excellence across the library system. Those initiatives included: Joel White\u2019s Books in Barbershops & Salons,<\/strong> which provided books to read while waiting for barber or salon services, and Leander Croker\u2019s Reaching Students Where They Are<\/strong>, which brought seven additional programs to the MakerLab. Every year we support ongoing library programs, such as Durham Comics Fest, Summer Reading, <\/strong>and Durham Reads Together<\/strong>. We were also happy to give Graceon \u201cGracey\u201d Gordon our annual Friends Academic Scholarship to complete her Master\u2019s degree in Library Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, the Friends spent $40,537.61 on programming and staff development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of this work would have been possible without the help of the generous Friends who keep us rolling. We appreciate everyone who became a member of the Friends, donated books, bought books at our regional book sales, and came to our big book sales at Books Among Friends in Northgate Mall.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
