SUPPORTING OUR LIBRARY, STRENGTHENING OUR
COMMUNITY

Get Involved

THANK YOU...

 Thank you Grafton and surrounding communities for helping make our Friends of the Grafton Library spring book sale a success, especially our shoppers. A special thank you goes out to all the local businesses that helped make it a true community event. Starbucks, Fiddleheads, Colectivo, Culvers, Olsen Piggly Wiggly of Cedarburg and Costco all donated items to this year’s sale. Thank you for your involvement in our sale. We loved having you as our community partners. Again this spring, we partnered with the Ozaukee Food Alliance. Thank you Katie Draeger for helping make this happen. Shoppers were able to bring a donation for the food barrel and choose a free book. So proud of our community shoppers that stepped up, and we were able to return two full barrels to the Food Alliance. Thank you to Holly Ryan for stopping in to shop for the Jail Literacy Program. The Friends were able to send two boxes of donated books with you for the program. Thank you to the Grafton Library staff that was welcoming to our shoppers and us. You helped us keep it all together. See you in the fall for our next big sale.

-Christi Surfus, President of the Friends of the Library-USS Liberty Memorial Public Library
