The Friends of the Library hosted the August Chamber of Commerce After Hours
Board members of the Friends of the Library had the chance to mingle with community members when they hosted the After Hours. It was an honor to have some of our elected officials attend along with members of the Casa Grande Youth Commission. The After Hours gave the Board members an opportunity to tell current and potential members what the Friends of the Library contribute to the Public Library while also enjoying ice cream, a gift basket raffle and a 50/50 drawing.
