FOLIO Splash - October 12

Make plans now to attend the FOLIO Splash (a workshop for statewide Friends of Libraries) on Saturday, October 12, at the Moore Public Library. A panel of Friends will discuss their variety of takes on selling books from ongoing library sale strategies, antique malls, and online sales, to advice on event book sales. The freedom to read is such an important right that we’ll discuss. An Oklahoma Book Award author will be featured.
Other ideas will be shared with panels on library literacy projects and creative fundraising successes. We’ll also hear stories about our inaugural recognition of outstanding friends, as we Stand Up for Standout Friends.
