Friends of Eagle Public Library report donation surge, storage crunch ahead of October sale
Summary
The Friends group said donations have "skyrocketed," creating storage and logistics problems; they plan a major October sale during Harvest Fest and are exploring options for more storage or a larger shed.
Betty Miller of Friends of the Eagle Public Library told trustees donations have surged and that the group is rethinking its operations to handle the volume. "Our donations are skyrocketing," Miller said, adding that the group may expand storage capacity and will host a seasonal sale during the Harvest Fest second weekend in October.
Trustees and staff discussed options including adding another shed behind the library, moving storage to other city-controlled space or using parking areas when feasible. The Friends said they are also working on website and signage updates to aid volunteers and donors and that new shelving ordered for the lobby is expected to arrive later in the year.
