Friends of the Hamilton Public Library

The Friends of the Hamilton Public Library held its 14th Annual General Meeting on Jan. 27, 2010. I attended representing the Dundas Branch Library Friends (Roland Weiler had intended to attend but late circumstances ruled him out).

I described to the FHPL board the current situation vis-a-vis the Dundas Cactus Festival book sale and the difficulty Dundas Friends face in going forward to offer meaningful support for the branch.

As a member of Telling Tales 2010 organization committee, I presented a slideshow on the proposed programme and goals for TT 2010. Hamilton Friends were a major sponsor in 2009. The ongoing support of FHPL for this event, set for September 19, 2010, is again sought.
