Adopt a Library
Volunteers Needed: The new brochures are done, and they look great. Now we need help from you to distribute them. To get out the word about the GFO and the great resources in our library, we need members to take a small batch of brochures to libraries in their neighborhoods. There is a list of libraries posted in the library. Please stop by the Forum soon to adopt your local library.
