The well-deserved award recognized their efforts to support the library through revenues earned from booksales, the operation of a monthly cable television program @ Your Library, and wonderful volunteers who assist in special library programs. Our Friends of PSPL are amazing advocates for libraries at both state and local levels. Congratulations! |
