Friends of the Old Forge Library thankful for great Bash support

The Friends of the Old Forge Library wish to thank all those who made our annual fundraiser, The Library BASH—celebrating 100 years of the Old Forge Library—a success.IMG_5339******

To those who donated food, volunteers who sold tickets, worked the tables, and admission…we couldn’t do it without you.

Thank you to the Library Staff and Director Izzie Worthen. And to all who attended, your generosity makes it possible for the Friends organization to continue its efforts to provide necessary funding for library programs, supplies, refreshments, and the periodic purchase of equipment.
