NEWSLETTER JANUARY 2021
Dear Friends,
Happy New Year!!!
2020 was a very unusual year. We have learned to change our entire social life to protect ourselves and our families from the dangerous effects of Covid19. It appears this will continue thru much of 2021.
Due to Covid, the Library was closed to the public for several months and has had to operate with modified procedures and some programs have been reduced. The staff have done a great job accommodating the needs of the community. Curbside service and delivery are available by calling 335-6720.
Friends have supported several events that could be safely held with social distancing in mind. Online Storytime, Storytime Craft bags, and Story Stroll on the Fence are some of the events the Friends have supported. Friends have supported many advertising opportunities to keep the public informed of the Library availability.
Enclosed is the Friends Membership Card for renewal. Your renewal supports many programs for the library. Some projects suggested Friends support in 2021 are: New Children’s books, purchase more Hot Spots equipment and monthly fees, replace aging banners on fence, and Virtual Storytime programming.
Please review the information on your membership card, make any changes necessary on the labels and return with your payment to Friends of the Dansville Public Library, 200 Main St, Dansville, NY 14437
The Annual Ballot for Officers is available upon request. New Friends members may use the printable form below to join the Friends of DPL.
Thank you for supporting the Friends of the Dansville Public Library. Your support is very needed with the government budget cuts over the last few years.
Sincerely,
Gerri Waight, President
