The
Friends are going Green!
No
more Membership Cards,
the Book Sale Postcard Will Do
In an
effort to save a few green
trees, and also increase the amount of green money
we generate for our library, the Executive
Committee of the Friends of the Pittsford
Community Library has decided to maintain
our membership listings electronically,
and do away with the blue paper membership
cards we have mailed out to active members
in the past.
All the
benefits of active membership in our group
remain. You will still have the ability to
shop our annual sales one day before they
are open to the public, and will receive
notification of the sales and any special
events by post card. Since
your postcard will have proof of your
current membership status printed above
your name and address, the quickest way
to get into our sales on membership
night is to bring the postcard with you,
thus no need to carry around a
membership card to do the same thing.
If you
have any questions about the new policy,
please e-mail us at pittsfordlibraryfriends@gmail.com

When
you buy Books
for a $1.00 in
the hallway,
you are
helping to
enrich the
library. Same
if you are
buying music
CDs, DVDs, or
jigsaw puzzles
� the money
goes to those
popular
discussion
groups, or to
fund speakers
and musicians.
(AND
you get to
keep the books
you buy.)
Thanks to all
of you for
your
purchases,
which make a
difference in
how many great
events the
library can
support. You
could even
take
advantage
of some of
these events,
which you will
find on the
Library's calendar
page.

If
you need to
get in touch
with us, our
street address
and phone
number are posted
on the Facts
page now. There's
an e-mail link
there too,
and
if you go to
the Big Event
page, you'll
find a
button
that will
bring up an
e-mail form
to send your
preferred
e-mail address
for an online
reminder we'll
send out
before each
major
sale (that's
the Fall and
Spring sales).

A word on
donations:
A
friend in the
sorting room
gently tapped
me on the
shoulder and
asked me to
remind people
donating books
that removing
the book
jacket
decreases its
resale value.
We're happy to
receive books
either way,
but if you're
donating a
book with a
jacket, please
send them to
us together! Donation
Guidelines can
be found on
the BIG EVENT
page , and
should help
answer any
questions on
what can be
donated (the
FACTS page
also has a
link to these
guidelines).
Reasonable
quantities of
books can be
donated
through the
slot in the
hallway, and
for larger
donations,
please speak
to the Library
employee at
the Reference
Desk to get
the word to
the Sorting
Room staff.
Friends
all over:
There's a
national
organization
of Friends of
Libraries, and
their web site
may be of
interest to
you, with lots
of
library-related
items to
celebrate. Go
to http://www.ala.org/altaff/
and see for
yourself
