Giese Memorial Library Friends Wyoming MN ECRL East Central Regional Library

Linder's Fundraiser for the Friends

All you have to do is go to linders_invitation.pdf and download an invitation, or pick one up from the library or any of the local stores throughout the city. Take that invitation to any Linder’s or Flower Mart locations when doing your Mother’s Day, Spring Flower or garden shopping between May 11^th thru May 14^th and The Friends of the Giese Memorial Library will receive a donation of 15% of the pretax purchase, just that easy. 100% of the funds we receive stay right here in Wyoming. Your generosity will go to help support programs at our library such as the children’s summer reading program, as well as many other activities throughout the year. The Friends of the Giese Memorial Library is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to the active promotion, welfare and support of the Giese Memorial Library. The Friends organization helps build a strong relationship between the library and community in which it serves and works with schools and community to help provide educational opportunity for persons of all ages.

Go to: http://www.linders.com/locations for the location nearest to you.

So please help promote the educational needs of all ages and shop at any of the many Linder’s and Flower Mart locations throughout the Twin Cities May 11th thru May 14th.

Please help us get the word out on this fundraising promotion, email your friends and family, post it on your facebook, anything you can do to pass the word around about shopping for flowers on our selected days would be greatly appreciated.

We are looking for volunteers to help spruce up the rain gardens at the library Saturday the 5th of May at 10:00 am. Please bring your own tools (small spades, little three prong hand rake, large rakes and gloves). We will be pulling weeds, pulling mulch away from the new plants and fluffing up the mulch. Please the more people we have there the less time it will take, so make every effort to help us out. We are going to get it done come rain or high water (within reason of course).  Please call or sign up at the library. 651-462-9001

The Wyoming Area Giese Memorial Library was proud to be a community partner for the first World Book Night in the United States, following the impressive lauch of this campaign in the United Kingdom and Ireland last year.  In cities across the country volunteers gave away half a million free books in one day.  This is an outreach effort to new or light readers.

Copies of Because of Winn Dixie, Hunger Games, My Sister's Keeper, The Kite Runner, Q is for Quarry , The Things They Carried, and The Poisonwood Bible were distributed in nursing homes, malls, coffee shops and schools.  Each of the volunteers could enthusiastically share their love of reading with one of there favorite books.  To read more about World Book Night and/or to sign up for notification of next year's campaign, visit www.worldbooknight.org.

Volunteers are needed at the library to assist in shelving books, straightening up and miscellaneous tasks…hours needed would be all of or any part between 2 and closing, totally up to you. The library is very short staffed right now and they are approaching the busy time of the year, so please make every attempt to provide them with your assistance..Contact the library at 651-462-9001...Thank You
