National Friends of the Libraries Week Upcoming Activities


OCTOBER 17-23 is National Friends of the Library week.  At the Monday, October 18, meeting of the Smyrna City Council, a proclamation from Mayor Max Bacon will be read declaring that week Friends of the Library Week in Smyrna. Friends of Smyrna Library board members and volunteers will receive the proclamation. FOSL members are invited to attend at 7:30 p.m. in Council Chambers, Smyrna City Hall, 2800 King Street at the end of the Village Green.

Other events during the week include a FOSL membership drive at the Library during lunch hours each day. An invitation-only Volunteer Recognition on Wednesday evening honors individuals who have given outstanding service to the Library. On Friday evening at 7:30, Auntie Renee tells stories in the Smyrna Memorial Cemetery, next to the Market Village. Refreshments will be served just across the street at the Smyrna Museum. The event is free and open to the public.

FOSL holds its outdoor Fall Book Sale at the Jonquil Festival to benefit the Library on Saturday, October  23 from 10 am to 6 pm, and on Sunday, October 24 from 12 pm to 5 pm. Our tent is in front of the Smyrna Community Center. The Jonquil Festival admission is free.
