Friends of the Library, Bethesda Chapter

Annual Report 2009-2010

After a banner year of programming and activism, Friends of the Library, Bethesda Chapter, is facing a time of change.  The chapter hasn’t changed, but the library system we cherish is going to be a more austere place in the coming year.  Reductions in library hours, staff and collections will also mean cutbacks in programs – both those run by the librarians and those run by FOL-B.  The challenge will be to see how we redefine ourselves –- we can’t and shouldn’t be trying to gloss over what patrons will understand as a new age for our library, but at the same time, we will be called upon and must respond.

At this time, it’s great to celebrate all that the past year has been to Bethesda.
