Friends' Bulletin Board
The Friends' Bulletin Board is located to the right of the Public Service desk, on
the wall across from the bookdrop.
We use this space to bring attention to current events of the Friends, the
Friends' Bookstore, Book Sales, the Foundation, and the Rochester Public
Library. Seasonal themes highlight the current activities, including the
AGM, the annual coffee, Art Walk, and Author Visits. We post photos, brochures,
news articles, posters, as well as information boxes on Book Sales (dates
and times) or special projects and programmes (purchasing the laminator, the
Community quilt, etc).
We try to highlight some of our volunteers, provide a forum for exchange of
information (book reviews, book recommendations, and some fun through book
quotes and literary cartoons. The space is updated regularly (20 times a
year) so check it out!
Social Media
Friends events are also posted on the library's facebook and twitter sites and our new
bookstore blog.
The Friends’ Bookstore is always looking for more ways
to find customers and patrons. We are beginning to join the
technology age, with faster computers, bookscanners, and now
our very own BLOG. The site is being maintained by one of our
volunteers who is a voracious reader of the Library as well as
a loyal patron of the Friends Bookstore. She intends, over the
course of this year, to blog books that she has read, is reading,
or hopes to read. Many of the books are from the library; others
were great buys found in the Bookstore.
People are welcome to comment, add their own book opinions,
author reports, books that they have found, or perhaps
even questions or suggestions.
The site will be linked to the Library, and the Friends’ of the
Library Web pages.
Please join us soon, both on the Internet and in the Friends' Bookstore!
