The Del Mar Library
a part of the San Diego County Library system

We need your help.

In the past year we've expended a great deal of our own funds and would like to
encourage you to help us replenish them so we can continue our many programs.

In addition we are also looking for volunteers to join our Board.

 

A message from Friends of the Del Mar Library President 


Spring 2011

Dear Friends,
With the start of a new fiscal year May 1, my thoughts turn to increased participation in Friends of the Del Mar Library. We need new blood both on our board of directors and among our members.
Our annual meeting is scheduled at 5 p.m. May 17. You’re invited to attend and participate. This also is a call to recruit new board members.

Anne Von Benckendorff, our vice president is stepping down. She has served for five years and has headed our fund raising efforts. We appreciate her hard work and will miss her greatly.

More than ever we need greater public participation. San Diego County’s perilous financial situation puts library programs in jeopardy and each branch must develop ways to maintain programs and acquisitions.

Your generous support has enabled us to budget $20,000 in fiscal 2011-12 to support various library programs along with purchase of new books. — our Red Dot collection of popular fiction and primarily non-fiction Gold Dot fiction books. Both can be found near the 13th Street entrance.

A big boost has come from a Del Mar Foundation grant of $2,000 for children, teen, and adult programs. We’ve allocated these funds for craft materials, instructors, and speakers, which cost about $6,000 annually. This is the second year we’ve received this grant and we thank the Del Mar Foundation for its support.
Our new community room enables the library to better serve Del Mar and to strengthen the ties with its residents. The new fiscal year will be one of challenge and opportunity.
Pat Freeman
