Friends of the Library

Friends of the Library

This is one of those announcements that we hate to make. Recent events tell us that the Friends of the Library are apparently not immune to reports of shoplifting. The Friends Bookstore and Boutique places trust in anyone who comes shopping here and it hopes to maintain that kind of relationship with customers. But now volunteers must be more vigilant to protect the already lowpriced items from opportunists who take advantage. This isn’t the world we expect here in LW. We can ask that those who seek to exploit our trust not to come to the store but that would be naive. So,we will be watching our stock more closely and ask that people report to us any suspicious things you might notice. At another period of time, limits were placed on the numbers of customers allowed at one time, and we hope not to have to do that again. Let’s all try to work together to keep our reputation of trust and good will and enjoy the Bookstore as the fun adventure it’s meant to be.
