The wonderful thing about being president of the Friends is that you do not have to do anything. We have the kind of board that makes the President look good. My thanks to all of you. It has been a pleasure being with you today. Friends of the Rockland Public Library.
Friends are all volunteers who want to help the library.
There are about 240 of them. They are organized with officers and a board of directors, a newsletter, and bank account, a budget, and lots of ideas for helping the library. They are devoted to our library, but they are also one of a great many Friends organizations all around the country. If our Friends run out of ideas they can learn what other Friends are doing. The Rockland Friends were active in the 1930s and '40s, then faded away for a time.
