Plans were formulated for a fund-raising Scrabble competition to be held on July 15. The members hope to hold team-challenge matches between community organizations and businesses. The Friends have been supporting Louisa's library since its opening on Main Street in 1978, through the years at the Girl Scout House and now at the present Mineral location, according to Lillian Sparks, a former librarian and a founder of the group. A half-hour prior to the meeting, Doniphan Howland and Kathy Woodard conduct an informal book review and discussion for interested members. According to McElhone, this year the Friends have emphasized programs featuring people connected to Louisa County or matters of concern to residents such as the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
New members are always welcome.
