About our Organization

The purpose of the Friends organization is to provide support for the Washington County Public Library by providing materials and equipment, which would otherwise be unavailable, assisting the library staff in its programs, and making our citizens aware of the important role the public library plays in our community.

May Newsletter

Friends of the Library will have their meeting on Thursday, May 5th, from 12:00-1:00pm, at the Blue Lake Community Center.

Everyone is invited to attend!
The special guest this month is Debi Menacof, of “Outside The Lines Art Studio, located in Marianna, FL. Debi is originally from the Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania, but has lived in Florida for half her life. She lives in Marianna with her husband and seven-year-old son. Debi’s teaching experience has spanned over 25 years, from pre-school to adults over 90! Debi is an Art Educator of the Wiregrass Museum of Art.



This month, at the Friend meeting, a few of you will create a piece of art. You may think that you are not an artist but you will be surprised how the artist within can be brought out!
Make your lunch reservations by calling Pam Butler at 638-0204, by noon on Monday, April 25, 2011.



The cost of the meal is $7.00. Be ready to let her know which number sandwich and drink you would like. If you cannot find your menu, please contact a Friend. Boar-Deli will be catering, and includes a six inch sub, chips, pickle, drink, & dessert.

Lucinda Says: Congratulations to our 2010 Friend of the Year, Kathryn Henders. Congratulations to Angeline and Dick Miller on 60 years of marriage. Anyone interested in working on the book sale, which will be held in the fall, let me know. I need someone or a team to be in charge. It is not as scary as you may imagine. Board members remember that the April board meeting will be held April 28, at 1:00pm. We will get used to the new time.

I hope to see everyone at the May meeting. Jeanne Lavender has arranged something that I think will be fun.

May 2-8 is National Wildflower Week.


Check out the display in the glass case in the foyer for more information about flowers and their origins.
