UPDATE TO MEMBERS: The FOCL Forum is currently down. We are taking the necessary steps to work through a solution and will be in touch with an update shortly. Time to renew your FOCL membership! Dear Friends of Libraries, While we continue to deal with the challenges created by Covid over the last 2 years, most of us have resumed the activities needed to support our libraries and communities. Friends of Connecticut Libraries (FOCL) is here to help you. Our mission to facilitate communication, collaboration and advocacy among Friends groups and libraries throughout the state is even more important at this moment. We invite you to join/renew your membership in FOCL, along with 100 other local Friends groups, individual library friends, library directors and organizations to support this effort. Members can take advantage of FOCL’s centralized resources for Friends groups through:
We encourage you to go online to fill out your membership information and pay your dues at www.foclib.org/join-us . (If you need help logging in or have both a group and an individual membership, email friendsctlibraries@gmail.com.) If you prefer, you can go online and print/mail your membership form with payment to FOCL by October 15. For groups, this will ensure earlier inclusion of group information in our online directory and calendar. Individual donations may be tax deductible. Thank you for all you do for libraries in Connecticut and for supporting FOCL’s work! Please let us know if there are any other ways we can serve your group and library.Sincerely, Linda Grayson |
