Nancy Gandara If you have any funds left from your latest coronavirus economic impact payment (a.k.a. the “stimulus check”) you could renew your membership in the Friends of the San Antonio Public Library, make a donation “in honor of” someone you admire, or make a contribution “in memory of” a departed loved one. Although a couple of years ago almost 1,000 people were counted as Friends, the most recent count shows a dip of several hundred people. The San Antonio Public Library is still providing books, programs, and computers and still counting on support from Friends like you. Join or renew your membership by check (just $15 per person!), or by PayPal or credit card: click on the “Become a Member” link above. FOSAPL Membership Secretary Needed

Contact Barbara Morrow at fosaplmembershipchair@gmail.com for more information as soon as possible. |
