Humblebrag: we maaaaaybe have the best friends in the world. The Friends of the Lawrence Public Library bring in an incredible amount of funds to our library each year, making possible things like Book Club in a Bag, Read Across Lawrence, Summer Reading, Volunteer Recognition, all our cool LPL swag and much, much more!
To celebrate their upcoming Summer Book Sale July 12-15th, we put together a lil special episode to say…
In the beginning of this episode, Polli interviews Angela and Sue from FLPL about the perks of becoming a friend, and how much FLPL does for the library. You’ll have to listen to hear how many items get donated each week (hint: OMG.)
THEN, Kate & Polli rattle off some sweet titles that borrowed from the sale. All of the books mentioned will be available! (They got returned, we swear!) --
