The August book sale, held this year on August 9th and 10th, is the biggest book sale of the year: a two-day event that is always well attended. This year was no different. Thanks to all who came and bought books, the Library took in more than $4,600! Friday was the biggest day when almost $3,300 worth of books were purchased.
Thank you to the volunteers who staffed the sale as well as the Library staff who managed the set up. Great job, everyone!

Our second annual Spring Barbecue Fund Raiser held at Sobey’s on Baseline Road was another great success. This year the weather was more cooperative and we were able to surpass our goal of $500.00. A big THANK YOU to all those who volunteered for this event and those of you that came out to support our endeavour. The volunteers enjoyed the camaraderie; chatting with those who stopped by about the community, the Library and the Friends; and sampling the delicious fare. All said it was a very worthwhile activity. Thank you also to Sobey’s, our sponsor, for supplying us with this wonderful opportunity to expand public awareness for the Strathcona County Library and for us, the Friends of the Strathcona County Library. Finally, a special thanks to Ron Dick who tirelessly organized the BBQ and made sure everything ran smoothly.
