Friends of the
Library Holiday Open House
The Friends of the Greenville Public Library are hosting their annual
Holiday Open House on Saturday December 9th from 10:00 to 2:00.
This festive event is always a treat for the whole family. Sample
dozens of delicious cookies, listen to live Christmas music by flutist
Nancy Jackson, and shop the used book sale. These books are nice
enough to give as gifts. There will be a limited number of
holiday themed books as well, all available for a small donation.
Local author B. A. Hughes will be available for a book-signing of her
new publication of short stories Glimm: A Glimpse of Light Found.
Illustrated by the hand drawings of young artist Quinci Woodall, the
stories “explore the adventures of tweens and early teens as they
uncover everyday mysteries and connections.” Hughes is a short
story writer, mother of 6, and grandmother of 13. She was a
homeschooler, has written parenting curricula for local courts, and
served as a substitute teacher for 20 years. Be sure to meet
her.
Kids can meet with Santa & Mrs. Clause for a free photo!
Having fun at the Library is a great way to introduce kids to the joy
of books, music, and creativity. Pick up a schedule of events and
activities for kids and teens.
The Friends are a volunteer group who’s goal is to support the Library
and promote literacy in the community. Through their membership
drive and Continuous Used Book Sale they fundraise in order to sponsor
programs and purchase needed items. The Book Sale is situated in
the Computer Room on the second floor of the Library. The Friends
work hard to keep the shelves stocked each week with a fresh supply of
every kind of book. Just make your choices and put a small
donation in the box.
In 2017 alone the Friends sponsored four Author's Nights, eight Family
Fun Days for the Summer Reading Program, and the 1000 Books Before
Kindergarten program. Fees for the artists and entertainers for
events are beyond the Library’s budget thus they are only made possible
by virtue of the Friends’ support.
