Library Foundation Meeting
January 22nd
Behind the scenes at the library is a very dedicated and hardworking group of fantastic folks. These wonderful people host an annual fundraiser that pays for the programs that the library offers. This is how we are able to do all the fun stuff, for FREE! Without the Tifton-Tift County Public Library Foundation, we would not be as vibrant as we currently are. This board is looking for new members so if you are passionate about library programs, the summer reading program, and other events, this is the group for you! Please consider joining them for their next meeting on Monday, January 22 at 5:30p.m. Hope to see you there!
