Everyone is invited to a special kick off meeting for the new Friends of the Santa Clarita Public Library. The kick off meeting is slated for the City’s 24th birthday, Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 7 p.m. at the Valencia Library, 23743 Valencia Boulevard, in the library community room.

The now-forming Friends of the Santa Clarita Public Library is open to all those interested in supporting our public library. The kick off meeting on December 15 will include a special welcome from Mayor Pro Tem Laurie Ender, as well as a program overview of the Friends group. Refreshments will be served including a birthday cake to help celebrate the City’s birthday.

“Joining the Friends of the Santa Clarita Public Library is a great opportunity to meet new people, to help operate the library book stores and to participate in fundraising events that benefit the three branches of the Santa Clarita Public Library. We encourage anyone interested in serving our community through our City library branches to consider attending the kick-off meeting and joining the new Friends group,” commented Mayor Marsha McLean.

The new Friends of the Santa Clarita Public Library is envisioned as a member-supported, non-profit organization that advocates, fundraises, and provides critical support for the Santa Clarita Public Library and related literary and educational programs. It is anticipated that the group will provide the community with opportunities to invest in the success of the Santa Clarita Public Library through volunteering.

For more information, please contact Friends of the Santa Clarita Public Library coordinator Robin Hoklotubbe at 661-259-8944 or via email at RHoklotubbe@santaclaritalibrary.com.
