The Friends of the Aledo Public Library will conduct their Annual Meeting at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 24, at the Aledo Public Library. Goals for the meeting include electing Executive Board officers (President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary) and setting meeting dates for the meetings in March, June, and September. Potential events and committees will also be discussed.

The public is invited to join the meeting.

The Friends group was established by advocates for the library and community to enhance the Aledo Public Library by pursuing and accepting gifts, applying for various grants and endowments, and participating in relevant fundraising movements to maximize opportunities for its library patrons. The group works to cultivate a community of support and involvement.

Funds raised will be used for literacy and educational enrichment programs such as the Summer Reading Program, Storytime, Homeschool Sessions, and Makerspace Sessions. Additional library programs the group would like to support include Puzzle Exchange, Yoga Storytime, Project BAT, Teen Time, Dungeons and Dragons, Mahjong, Book Club, Common Threads, the Seed Library, and Open Play. They are looking at larger projects to invest in once the new library building is open.
