Submitted to the Great Bend Tribune the week of October 28th by Mary Ann June, Friends' Treasurer:
Successful Book Sale
"Successful"
is defined as “turning out to be as was hoped for.” This year the Book
Sale went beyond what was hoped for, thanks to many volunteers. The
Friends of the Library officers have many people to thank: the folks
from CPI who moved a mountain of books, Boy Scout Troop #184 from
Trinity Lutheran Church for making sign holders, the Friends of the
Library Volunteers who sorted books all year long, maintenance staff at
the library, City workers, Sunflower Diversified, the Barton County
Basketball coach and team for moving books after the sale. Cooperation
is what helps us continue this great project.
All
of the volunteers along with superb publicity from The Tribune, Eagle
Radio, Great Bend Chamber of Commerce, KSN and the City of Great Bend
helped tremendously. Our appreciation goes especially to all who
attended the sale and for your continued involvement in the library.
