June 19th Friends of the Port O’Connor Library Annual Meeting
Going on right now is the Friends of the Port O’Connor Membership Drive. New membership runs from July 1st through June 30th, 2024, with membership for as little as $15. You can sign up at the library or through our website friendsofportoconnorlibrary.org. There is also a link to the website attached to the “friends” Facebook page. The Friends are an important part of the ongoing operation of the library, and your gift continues to give throughout the year providing support for library programs and services.
Donor membership is a wonderful way to contribute to our lovely community throughout the year. Every donation is a gift in helping to support and maintain the library as a busy place. Consider becoming a member or a volunteer and make our library more special than it already is.
