Friends of the Library Membership Saves You $10 in Overdue Fines!

The Friends of the Dover Public Library will be recruiting new members for their organization during National Library Week, April 12-18. It’s just $10 annually to join and only $7.00 for seniors. Plus, an exciting new membership benefit has just been added. Anyone joining the Friends during the month of April 2009 will receive a Friends’ Coupon Book with ten coupons, each one good for $1.00 off your overdue library fines. So if you sometimes owe the library money, redeem these coupons (one per visit) and the cost of your Friends of the Library membership will turn out to be free!

The Friends of the Library help raise funds for library programs and equipment through their book and book-related merchandise sales and last year contributed nearly $15,000 to the library, purchasing such items as museum passes, window shades and drapes, youth contest prizes, carts and stools, computers, carpeting and lighting fixtures. The Friends also pay for all speakers’ fees for special library programs. The Dover Public Library is seeking a few dozen new Friends and, with the new coupon book, your membership could turn out to be cost-free! Please consider joining the Friends of the Library during their annual membership campaign this month. For more information please call the Dover Public Library 516-6050.
