ICYMI: The National Book Festival is just around the corner as well! Sponsored and hosted by the Library of Congress, this one-day extravaganza celebrates the American literary tradition across all genres and formats.
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.
Only a week remains until the 2023 Minnesota Book Awards! Hundreds of writers and book-lovers from across Minnesota will converge in St. Paul on Tuesday, May 2 to celebrate the rich literary landscape right here in our own backyard. Tickets are still available to attend the ceremony in person at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts.
Did you know that United for Libraries hosts an annual celebration of library supporters? It’s called National Friends of Libraries Week – and conveniently for those of us in Minnesota, it falls every October. It’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate and fundraise before November ushers in the year’s busiest, most crowded time for fundraising.
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.
