Message from the President
As we continue to adjust to our new normal, Friends of the Library want to thank all of our members for their continued support of our libraries -- you have been great! What a wonderful job the Alamance County Public Libraries staff has done during Covid-19. Our community is so lucky to have this great resource. As Ernest Hemingway famously once said, "There is no friend as loyal as a book." During Covid-19 books have certainly helped to fill the void when we have been unable to gather with friends. I know for me during the last few months, it was great to drive-by the library and pick up a book at the door. As we have been socially distancing, I found comfort in reading. Books took me on journeys I could not take, fired up my imagination, and most importantly made me laugh.
While we all continue to social distance, books can take us anywhere. Just remember as the Alamance County Libraries website states, "your next great read is waiting for you at the library...."
