Hat's Off to All of Our 2009 Supporters!

Thanks to all of our supporters who made 2009 such a rewarding year! Not only did the Friends see a record number of donations (over $19K) but the Friends were able to achieve 77% of our Annual Program & Collection Goal of $25,000! The Friends would like to thank all of our corporate sponsors, individual donors, used book donors, Main St. Day Book Sale volunteers and community support that provided the Friends with continued funding for the Ripon Library and literacy outreach efforts.

On behalf of the Friends, THANK-YOU!
