As excited as we are to greet the New Year, it brings with it a few changes that are bittersweet. MALF bids a fond farewell to four members of its board of directors: Sue Grove (Austin); Melissa Brechon (Little Canada); Marge McPeak (Tower); and Kathy Sacchetti (Tower).

As any Friends “veteran” will tell you, financial gifts alone cannot keep Friends of the Library afloat. Your time and talents are no less valuable. In this spirit, MALF invites you to put your name forward for our own Board of Directors.

Do you love libraries, have experience with nonprofit accounting or bookkeeping, and experience partnering with wealth management firms on behalf of a nonprofit or small business? If so, MALF wants to hear from you! We're looking for a new treasurer, with a two-year term starting in 2024. Training is available on an as-needed basis.

The Minnesota Association of Library Friends is moving offices, effective February 6! Please save our new address: 332 Minnesota Street, Suite W1420, Saint Paul, MN, 55101.
