FOSSPL Receives Grant
Friends of Shannon Staub Public Library, Inc. (FOSSPL) has received a $675 Walmart Giving Community Grant, a portion of which was used to print totes spotlighting the nonprofit’s used book store known as FriendShop. Amy Roche, Manager of the Walmart Neighborhood Market, North Port, approved the grant. Flanked by four uniformed staff members, Roche at left displays a tote with Judy Savela, FOSSPL secretary. The tote reads: “In my defense, I was left unsupervised and the FOSSPL FriendShop was open!” In appreciation of their work, FriendShop volunteers will receive totes and other favors. The totes will also be used as raffle prizes during a March 25 fundraiser featuring Cahal Dunne and ChoirPlay and are available for purchase in the FriendShop.
The Friends of Shannon Staub Public Library’s annual Holiday Boutique continues through December. It features attractively priced Yule Season books, ornaments, collector plates and figurines, and other decorative items. Also available as stocking stuffers and for gift giving are lanyards and pins, FOSSPL totes and tee shirts, and priced at just $10 Friends notecard packs, cookbooks, and FriendShop gift cards.
