FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
Please join the Friends in our work for the library during the year. We will be focusing on adult programs and our Book Store - which is open during library hours every day except Sunday.
January is Membership Month, we are starting off another year of showing support for the library with our membership dues. Our goal, as usual, is 100 members by December 2012. Last year we had 63 people who generously gave their dues to help round out the library's budget. If you have not renewed at this time, please take care of that soon, in person or by mail.
Adults - $10 Seniors - $5 Students - $3
Our membership is made up of local patrons in Warren and Center Line alike, and includes Friends from Dearborn, Livonia, Hamtramck and Detroit. Each realizes the value of a good library and supports us in a variety of ways, such as:
- Sorting books.
- Helping at a book sale.
- Donating books, buying books.
- Baking for fundraisers.
Its easy and fun and in the spirit of giving, we are also on the receiving end, with friendships that last a lifetime.
FRIENDS BOOK CLUB
"PAGETURNERS"
Are you looking for a book club to join? The Friends have sponsored the Pageturners for several years and we usually have 8 or more sharing views on the book we’ve just read for that month. We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7 pm at the library.
The Current Schedule is:
Febrary 21 - I Feel Bad About My Neck; And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman by Nora Ephron.
March 20 - The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Firzgerald
April 17 - Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James
May 15 - The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
If you are ready for such a discussion evening which lasts about an hour, sign up at the library to be a part of this fun group. And don’t forget about our BOOK STORE in the library, where most books are $2.00!
FOUNDING FATHERS PROJECT
We continue to add stories and pictures for our long range project on local family history in Center Line and Warren. You can see some family names in our street signs.
We need to borrow old yearbooks and class pictures so our historian Wesley Arnold can microfilm them. They will be returned to you. This will enable them to be made available to our patrons.Do you know of someone who may have graduated in the 1920's, 1930's or 1940's? We want to rescue this history. Especially interesting are early pictures of local homes. Please consider helping this community project.
History and historic pictures of the Center Line area can be seen through the efforts of Mike Grobbel and local historian Wesley E Arnold. See more on Center Line History at:
