"A good library will never be too neat or too dusty, because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them." - Lemony Snicket
Our Libraries - and our Library Foundation - are buzzing with activity. Summer Break is in full swing in the branches, renovations are in the works, and here at the Foundation we're closing a very successful fiscal year. As we reflect on this year's accomplishments we recognize the Foundation's success is a reflection of this community's generosity, confidence, and partnership, and we are grateful.
This year with the enthusiasm of our Friends Council Final Draught has gained a loyal and diverse following, features thought leaders and topics representing all parts of our city, and has earned a generous sponsorship from Red Ventures.
Thanks in part to the consistently positive experiences authors have at Verse & Vino and EpicFest, our Library Foundation has developed a reputation among publishers as a literary destination. This week's Conversation with Emily Giffin is the result of our deepening relationship with Random House.
Most of all, we are proud of our partnership with you. Our Library supporters are a reflection of our whole community, and we thank you for investing in the community we share.
Stay cool, and stay engaged. We hope to see you at the Library this summer.
Jenni Gaisbauer, CFRE Executive Director
