 Hi, there! I’m
Marie Brooks and as of February
2013, I’m your new Friends of
Chelsea District Library
president. I’m very excited to
be actively involved with the
library and the Friends once
again, after a bit of ‘down
time’ since leaving my
volunteer coordinator position
with CDL in 2007. I've been a
library supporter and a Friend
since moving to Chelsea, way
back in 1995 and it almost
feels like coming home to work
with all of these fine folks
again.
My goal for the Friends in
2013 is really more of the
same good work they've been
doing all along – steady
and increasingly necessary
financial support of the
library’s excellent
programs through
fundraising and community
advocacy. My hope is to
increase public awareness
of our Friends group as
well and by doing so,
increase our ranks. To do
this, I’m putting in place
a great team of committee
chairs and volunteers to
help plan and execute a
variety of (very fun!)
events and ideas. Keep your
eyes peeled for details…. I
look forward to the year
and I hope you’ll join us
on the journey!
Contact the
Friends.
