About
|
Since
its organization in 1982, the Friends of the Lewiston Public
Library have supported the library through advocacy and
fundraising efforts. The group was founded to "promote
understanding and appreciation of the functions, the
materials and services offered by the library". The Friends
primarily raise funds through their used book sales for
expansion and improvement of the services offered to the
Lewiston community by the library. The Friends support and
assist the library by sponsoring both adult and children's
programs throughout the year. |
Adopt-A-Book
|
The Friends of the Lewiston Public Library are pleased to
once again sponsor an Adopt-A-Book drive for the library.
Due to severe funding cutbacks, the library has a limited
budget for purchasing new materials. The Friends group has
initiated the Adopt-A-Book program to encourage the Lewiston
Community to support their library by "adopting" a new book
to purchase.
Supporters can choose a book from the display at the
library, and bring the card and payment to the Circulation
Desk. A special bookplate will be placed in the front of the
book with the donor's name, or whatever they choose.
The Adopt-A-Book program will continue throughout the year,
with book titles being added on a regular basis as new
titles are published. Last year, over 250 books were
"adopted".

Books for Babies
|
Books
for Babies is a national literacy program that
acquaints parents of newborns with the important role they
play in the development of their children. It is new service offered by the Friends of the
Library for Lewiston residents who have a newborn. The
Friends are working with St. Mary's Hospital to hand out an
Invitation to every Lewiston resident who has a new baby to
come visit the Library. Upon visiting the library, the
resident will be given a gift for their newborn. (If
you are a Lewiston resident, who had a baby elsewhere,
please feel free to stop by the Library for your Invitation
and gift.) |
