MEDFORD CHRISTMAS TOUR OF HOMES

On Saturday, December 2nd, the Friends of the Library in Medford held their annual Holiday Season fundraiser. Included was a silent auction of baskets of goodies, a bake sale, and the keystone of the event, a tour of homes in the area. Those who sign up for the tour get to see how the homes are decorated for the Holidays, not only on the outside --- but the inside as well! This event is very popular in the Medford area. Their FOL President, Rose Marie Lefebvre, reports that they made $4000 to help support activities at their library, with a very minimal cost for the project! Congratulations, Medford!

Rose Marie was one of the facilitators at the September 30th NORTHWOODS CONFERENCE OF FRIENDS & LIBRARY SUPPORTERS. She led the discussion on other ways to raise funds besides booksales. In Medford they obviously practice what they preach.
