Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the
town library. The only entrance requirement is interest.

AND NEWS
***************************
Gardening at Pace!
This is our first
ever program for adults at the Pace Library! We want to thank
Melodie Taylor, our Pace Library
Manager, for making this happen!
****************
Thanks, Pace!
The Friends' Annual
Book Sale was a great success! We made about $3000, which puts
us one quarter of the way toward
our goal! We also registered or renewed memberships for 77+ library
supporters! Many thanks to the hard working members who put on
this successful book sale, and to all of you who visited!
The Friends Board set next year's goal for library
donations at $12,000. During the previous fiscal year, the Pace
Friends donated $11648 in purchases for the library. This money
comes from memberships, Kay Brown Fundraiser, cash donations; and
the Book Sales at Alyssa's, the library, and the Annual Book Sale.
Thanks
to everyone
who participated!

Our
Goal for 2011-2012
The Friends of the Pace Library have set a goal
to raise $12,000 for the 2011-2012 budget year. The money will
be used to purchase books and other materials for the Summer
Reading program, and DVDs, CD's and books for the Pace Library
Collection. You can help by donating books and other materials
(see below), and by purchasing used books at the Library and
at Alyssa's Antique Depot on Chumuckla Road. Our Annual Book
Sale will be in March at the Pace First United Methodist Church.
