Last night, October 7, 2024, the Friends of the Troy Public Library gathered in the Library Meeting Room to honor our volunteers—the true lifeblood of our organization. 💖 From staffing Book Shop operations to leading Outreach efforts, your tireless work has supported and promoted the Library in ways that have spread literacy and the love of reading far and wide!
As an all-volunteer nonprofit, let’s be honest—without you, nothing would happen. And by “nothing,” we mean ABSOLUTELY nothing! No books sorted, no shelves stocked, no books sold. We’d be playing hide-and-seek in the basement just to pass the time. 😂 Seriously, your dedication keeps everything running smoothly, and we couldn’t be more grateful!🙌
2024 had its challenges—like the Lower Level Book Shop taking a “siesta” for some much-needed repairs—but that’s all in the rearview mirror. We’re ready for a fantastic new year, full steam ahead toward fresh adventures and exciting opportunities! 🚀📚
A special shoutout to Mary Lynn Bowen, who once again knocked it out of the park, like Detroit Tiger Kerry Carpenter, organizing last night’s Volunteer Appreciation Dinner! It was an evening full of smiles, laughter, raffles, and food so delicious that even her scarecrows over at Troy Historic Village were ready to leave their posts to stop by and grab a plate! 🤣
Check out the photos and relive all the great moments we shared! 📸 Thank you for being the heart and soul of the Friends—we couldn’t do it without you. Here’s to making the next year even brighter! 🌟
