Just a few reminders of ways you can get involved to support the library and FRIENDS Saturday, November 26th!
Holiday Parade:
You are invited to walk with the Central Kansas Library System Rotating Truck and hand out candy. The truck will have a nice sign saying “Great Bend Public Library & Friends.” So, all will know you are with us J! If you would like to be a part of this:
Gather at the Water Park parking lot (entering the parking lot from Williams street – they recommend carpooling if you can) no later than 5:15 pm– the truck will be there soon after 4:15 pm. The parade starts at 5:30 pm. Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather.
After Hours @ GBPL:
The library is staying open until 8:30 pm Saturday night, joining the other downtown businesses in a late evening. Eric Coulbourne, Children’s Librarian, will be providing a story and craft time with Jennifer King, YA/Marketing Librarian coordinating the playing of a short Christmas classic movie. The Friends gave money and voted to give time to this event. Your help is needed in serving refreshments or helping with the story and craft time. Interested? Either skip the parade and join Eric @ 5 pm or come following the parade and warm yourself up!
Friends’ Book Store Grand Opening:
Members Chris & Kathy Rippel have been working hard to get the gently used Book Store ready for its grand opening (scheduled for 6 pm – aka following the parade). They have wrapped the shelves like a big present which will be opened and revealed Saturday night (it looks really GREAT!). So…come be a part of this exciting event!
Your volunteer time and energy are much appreciated!
