Friends of the Modesto Library

Time is running out! Friends of the Modesto is hosting an ONLINE Scholastic Book Fair. It’s one of the ways FOML works to get more books in the hands of more kids. Shop through May 27. FOML earns 25% of your purchases at no extra cost to you. That profit is used to buy books for library programs. Free shipping on orders of $35 or more in books. https://bit.ly/4wqT1Ue

On Wednesday, May 6, the Salida Library will host the League of Women Voters Book Club. The program begins at 11 a.m. and is free to the public. Noted author Kirsten Miller will appear via video to discuss her book, “Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books.” Stanislaus State Professor Shannon Stevens will moderate the discussion and County Librarian Sarah Dentan will share the library’s policy that addresses book Challenges.

We want YOU! There are lots of ways to get involved with Friends of the Modesto Library. Here are just a few urgent needs that YOU might be able to help with.

We’re looking for a person to act as lead volunteer to coordinate FOML’s participation in DoMo First Friday events. Ditto, a person to coordinate FOML presence at Modesto Farmers Market. We could also use a FOML Historian, a new position.

Do you enjoy photography? We need a photographer to attend FOML events and take photos. If any of these roles sound interesting to you, contact FOML co-president Ellen Burchett at [email protected]. She’d love to talk with you!
