Ponderings from Palm Coast with Mark Webb-Ep 031-Friends of the Library-Mike Cocchiola

Friends of the Library provides the library with full programs from yoga, cooking, children's activities, senior activities including concerts, classes all day long. Each library is like a civic center. It is a 501-3C not for profit and its mission is to raise funds for the library. Funds from the county are being cut back so fundraising is even more important. Over the year The Friends of the library holds book sales, hosts a bookstore, bake sale, car show and dinner dance to raise funds. Did you know that 20,000 citizens per month pass through the doors of the library and 6,000 children over the summer? The new Nexus Center in Bunnell will soon house another library and all of the same programming must now be made available for it. Www.FlaglerLibrary.org is the website to donate to Friends of the Library, in any amount. Full video of this episode is available on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/VaWLBimUrAo
