The Friends Of Encinitas Library need you!
Hey marvelous members - it’s Member Referral Season.
Encourage a friend (or friends!) to join the Friends this fall and you’ll both be entered in a raffle for one of our popular boat totes. The first drawing will be Wed. November 4, at our members’ happy hour (must be present to win; location TBD). The second drawing will be listed in our December monthly events email.
Encourage your friends to join before or on October 3 to take advantage of the members’ only shopping hour, 9-10 AM, at the FOEL Bookstore’s half price sale.
If the person joins online, they’ll click Referral under “How did you hear about the Friends?” and then enter your name. There’s also a spot for this on our paper membership form, found at the bookstore desk or on our website. https://www.encinitaslibfriends.org/membership

“I've loved libraries since I was a boy. I was fascinated with trains, and the local library was just a bike ride away. They had a good collection of railroad books ... I must have checked out every one of them dozens of times. So I learned the value of libraries at an early age.
Libraries are one of the best investments for a city - they make so much enrichment possible for everyone. Your library is much more than books: it's a valuable community resource.
Even so, libraries still need support to make them even better. So when I heard about FOEL, I realized that they are the best way to support the Encinitas Library.”
