Friends' used-book sale and film screening draw large turnout, boost memberships
Summary
Library director reported the Friends' used-book sale raised about $3,000 and attracted 40–50 new members; a related film screening drew roughly 425 attendees and is slated for PBS in February 2026.
Dan said the Friends of the Library hosted a used-book sale at the Richlands Junction branch that raised about $3,000 and added roughly 40–50 new Friends members. "They had over 40, maybe, and up to 50 people join friends," Dan said, calling the membership boost a significant success for the volunteer group.
He also reported the film screening about book challenges drew a large crowd—"about 425 people"—and that the film is expected to premiere on PBS in February 2026. Board members praised the turnout and suggested follow-up materials (a handout or newsletter summary) so community members who missed the event could act on panel recommendations.
