Friends of the Batavia Public Library to host annual meeting

The Friends of the Batavia Public Library's annual meeting will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 16, in the main conference room at the Batavia Public Library, 10 S. Batavia Ave.

They will be celebrating all things books, Batavia Public Library, and the Friends of the Batavia Public Library with the second annual "Hugs and Quiches" event.

The annual meeting is open to all of the Friends membership.

Not a Friend of the Library yet? You are still welcome to come to the meeting to learn about the Friends of the Library, what they do, how you can join, and how you can volunteer. There will be a short (very short) meeting for Friends business at the beginning and then they will celebrate.

This year, brunch is included. Bring your friends but let them know they are coming by emailing friends@bataviapubliclibrary.org.

Annual memberships start at $10 for an individual, $15 for a family, and $5 for seniors. In the past year, the Friends has donated approximately $20,000 to help the Batavia Public Library and its programs.

If you have any questions, contact the Friends at friends@bataviapubliclibrary.org.
