The Del Mar Library
a part of the San Diego County Library system

We need your help.

In the past year we've expended a great deal of our own funds and would like to
encourage you to help us replenish them so we can continue our many programs.

In addition we are also looking for volunteers to join our Board.

 

A message from Friends of the Del Mar Library President 


Spring 2010

The past year has been an amazing one for the Del Mar Library. Our new Community Room has been used by many groups and also is a wonderful space for library programs.

Although the county has cut its budget for books, Friends of the Del Mar Library has closed the gap by buying best sellers, magazines and newspapers desired by our patrons. Most important, we’ve been able to maintain our hours of operation.
In our upcoming budget the Friends board has set aside $8,000 for programs for children, teens and adults; one-fourth of this total will be paid by a generous grant from The Del Mar Foundation. We’re especially grateful because the county also has reduced funding for these programs.

Another obvious area of improvement has been the landscaping in our front yard. We appreciate the efforts of the city of Del Mar, our own volunteers and particularly the Del Mar Garden Club.

The annual Friends meeting is at 5 p.m. Tuesday, May 18, 5 p.m. at the library. Please feel free to attend, meet the board and learn about our budget and goals for this next year. We’ll also install officers and board members for 2010-ll. They are Pat Freeman, president; Ann Von Benckendorff, vice president; Barbara Myers, secretary; Bill Michalsky, treasurer, and Barbara Anderson, Kathy Finnell, Peter Kaye, Marion Perlman, and H. Randall Stoke, board members. As usual we’re on the lookout for new blood on the board.

Thanks to all of you for your donations and support. Our library could not meet its needs without you.


- Pat Freeman
