Update for Friends of the Hartland Library BOOK SALE - April 2010

Thank you for all the help from our “Friends” members to make our annual used book sale such a success!!   We made $1900 on the sale!!!  We again received matching funds from Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial Services!  We are very appreciative of their continued donations. 

The librarians are thrilled that The Friends will again fund the entire Children’s Summer Reading Program with prizes and educational entertainment programs.  Last year 1000 children participated in this program and checked out about 27,000 books over the summer!  Exciting, isn’t it?

The Friends will also be able to buy items on the librarians “wish list” for the library.  It is great to support our wonderful library!

What We Do

The Friends of the Hartland Library believe our public library is the heart of the community.
It is dedicated to enriching lives. The Friends believe the library helps satisfy the thirst for knowledge: from books with intricately woven stories to books with step-by-step procedures of how to fix a leaky faucet. The library also provides computers to link people to job opportunities or to do research online.

The Friends of the Hartland Library is a non-profit organization that supports the library. FOHL finances programs, books, DVDs, computers, and supplies not included in the annual library budget. FOHL has purchased an array of the following items over the years for the Hartland Public Library:

Numerous Children's Books
Numerous Books for Teens
Numerous Adult Fiction and Nonfiction Books
Numerious CDs
Numerous DVDs
Computer Tables
Tables and Chairs for the Children's Section
Annual Sponsorship of the Children's Summer Reading Program
(In the summer of 2009, about 1,000 children checked out 27,000 books,
enjoyed the programs, and participated for prizes during the 6 weeks of activities.)
