Hello, Friends of Sherwood Library,
I wanted to let you know about the events for our 40th anniversary - the
celebration is big enough to span two weekends!
On September 10, the men of the Heritage Harmony Singers
will perform in our meeting room. They
have been rehearsing at our library for many years and, as you know, they are
fabulous performers. That show will be at 11 am. Later
that day we will host Rocknoceros. If
you have
young children, you won't want to miss the group when
they appear at 2:30 pm. Registration
required for both events.
September 17, the next Saturday, is another big day for
us. Gary Lloyd will bring great stories
and lots of fun at 11 am. Gary has
appeared at many locations throughout Northern Virginia. Registration required.
Later that day, we will be joined by the Mount Vernon
Swing Band. Because they will be performing in the Showmobile in
front of the building, you will enjoy their music for much of the afternoon.
To celebrate this anniversary, the Friends of Sherwood
Library will be reducing the price of the books in the second floor book sale
area. Between 10 and 2 pm, come by, shop a little, and ask the
Book sale volunteers how you can help.
The money that is raised by the book sale is used to provide programs
and refreshments for neighbors of all ages, magazine subscriptions to
supplement our collection, and furniture as needed, Best of all, the Friends provide the funds
for our volunteer recognition events... and you can join the ranks of our
volunteers!
While you're buying personal books, perhaps you'll want
to think about birthday presents for Sherwood.
