It sure took a long time in coming; the forsythia was blooming in my neighbor’s yard during the December holidays. Maybe, just maybe, that burst of color was a sign that February won’t be a freezing, snow-filled month. However, there is something to be said about curling up with a good book when the weather outside isn’t terribly inviting. By any measure, 2013 was a busy and rewarding year. Our successes are attributable to your generous financial support and willingness to volunteer. Your membership and personal Friar Fitzgerald, involvement in Friends activities continue to make President of Friends Duncan one of the best community libraries in the of Duncan Library Newsletter Contents state. President’s Letter 1-2 One of the Board’s primary responsibilities is to be good stewards of the funds we oversee. Importantly, every dollar received is a dollar invested in Duncan; Friends’ T-shirts 2 nothing is held back for administrative costs. Here are just a few ways your contributions matter: Thanks…and Another Book Sale 3 The Friends website was completely revamped to make it more comprehensive and accessible; Landscaping Update 3 Music supplies were bought for the children’s story time; Books By My Bedside 4-6 Many nonfiction titles were updated in the reference collections; Patron requests for material not in the Duncan’s collections were Duncan Book Discussion considered and then added to the shelves; Group 7 Extra movie licenses were purchased for the monthly Duncan Film Club News from the Library 8 presentations; and Live music was incorporated in the member-supported poetry club.
