Friends of RFL
The Friends of the Library is an auxiliary group organized to “foster, encourage, sponsor and promote the perpetuation, improvement, and interest in the Rutland Free Library.” The Friends welcome new members at all times. Pick up a membership form at the circulation desk.
Meeting times are posted, usually the 2nd Monday of the month.
May Guest Speaker
Peggy Shinn writes athlete profiles and other feature stories for the U.S. Olympic Committee’s website, TeamUSA.org. She was working on stories for the upcoming 2012 Olympics in London when Hurricane Irene hit Vermont. After mountain biking from her home in Rutland up to a few of the isolated towns and reporting for the Wall Street Journal, she began writing a book about the storm and Vermont’s remarkable recovery, as told through five characters around the state. The book is due for publication in summer 2013. She will talk about how the book came into being and read a few passages from her current draft.
In addition, the Friends are currently recruiting new Board members. Notify the nominating committee (email friends@rutlandfree.org) if you are interested in serving on the board for a two-year commitment. Voting occurs at the annual meeting.
The Friends sponsor frequent book sales throughout the year as a fundraising event.
