Believing in the value of reading in the lives of everyone, they look to the library as the book and information center of the community. Under the leadership of President Sharon Whittaker, the ELFs help develop public understanding of the library and make its resources better known throughout the community. ELFs are involved in all aspect of Carnegie s, including staffing the counter, sorting book donations, selecting gift items to sell and scheduling volunteers. ELFs have also held bake sales at municipal band concerts, staffed an informational booth at the Goshen Market and sold poinsettias during the holiday season. Money raised through ELF efforts fund a wide variety of items and projects, including family entertainment for the annual summer reading program.
ELFs also sponsor special library events.
Recently the ELFs hosted a visit from Springfield author Dee Henderson. Ms. Henderson spoke to an enthusiastic crowd about her award-winning romantic suspense novels.
