Facebook

If any of these projects sound interesting and you want to help make a difference, please let us know. We can certainly use your help!

The Friends of the Curry Public Library’s next monthly meeting will be held Tuesday, October 20, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. in the large meeting hall in the library.

Sandy Grummon will give a recap on the results of the MONTH-LONG SILENT AUCTION, and Becky Ross will give a recap of the JUST DESSERTS AUCTION.

Before we can catch our breath after these two labor-intensive fundraisers, we will pass around sign-up sheets for the upcoming HOLIDAY BETTER BOOKS & BAKE SALE, November 20-21, 2026, and Michelle Arnold will pass around sign-up sheet for volunteers to write SANTA LETTERS, which will be written Nov.1-30, 2026.

Our secretary, Michelle Valentino, will send an email Sunday, October 18th, reminding you of the upcoming meeting. She will attach a copy of the minutes from the August meeting and the agenda for this month’s meeting.

If you are not a member of the Friends, consider stopping by one of our meetings (third Tuesday of every month at 9:00 a.m.) and see if we are a good fit with your interests, personality, and your availability to volunteer at Friends’ events. We are an enthusiastic group of supporters of the BEST rural library in Oregon!
