Steve Carlson invited Barb Labate to speak to us about the Jefferson Public Library's Friends organization. The Friends of the Jefferson Public Library are dedicated to supporting and promoting the Jefferson Public Library through programs, advocacy, and financial support. They have been in existence for 18 years and have raised $80,000 for various projects at the public library. Next week is Friends of the Library Week. Thanks to Steve and Barb for an interesting program!
