During the quarter ending December 31st the Friends provided a total of $9,560 to the Library. $3,611 of this was for the purchase of books and other materials. The remaining $5,949 paid for the annual subscription to the McNaughton Plan, which enables the Library to provide extra copies of best sellers without purchasing them during the period when they are popular and to return them when they are no longer needed.

Gifts to the Library for the first half of the 2018-19 fiscal year totaled $15,616. Funds for these gifts came from sales from all sources; memberships beyond the basic level; and donations, including memorial donations. We are very grateful to everyone who supports the Friends and those activities that make our gifts possible.
