Dear Friends,

Last week you received a reminder about your FOL membership renewal. Since that reminder was automated, it wasn't possible to include this personal note.

Renewing your Friends membership is probably the last thing on your mind right now. With this unprecedented crisis, the number of people and organizations in need of support and funding is simply overwhelming. It is hard not to feel helpless.

Even though CRRL and its branches are physically closed, customers young and old are still being served through the digital collection, online research assistance, Wifi, and much more. But when this is over--and it will be over--the library will be the first to open its doors. Think of how great it will be to attend book sales again, enjoy Music on the Steps, participate in Summer Reading programs and other community events. Continued support from Friends will help keep those programs going.

So please renew when you can, and in the meantime, take care and stay safe.

Thank you all for your support this past year.

Candace Schmidt, Friends President
