LISTEN UP!  EVENTS SPONSORED BY THE FRIENDS OF SEASIDE LIBRARY
The Friends kicked off the LISTEN UP series of visiting author readings on December 6th with Craig Lesley, author of Burning Fence, The Sky Fisherman, Winterkill, and other works.  Craig read from his recently published memoir, Burning Fence and also talked about the creative process.  Future events include the Oregon Reads events in January and February, which center around the book Stubborn Twig.  On March 21st Matt Love will be here with his recentlypublished anthology celebrating Oregon's sesquicentennial.  Matt's love of Oregon shines through everything he writes, and he promises us a really entertaining reading and slide show--don't miss it!

FRIENDS STORE SEEKS HELP
The Friends store at the new library is looking for library lovers to staff it.  We have shifts as follows:  Tuesday through Friday 10am to 1pm; and 1pm to 4pm. We would like to expand to the weekends, as well.  If you'd like to help, please call Nancy at
738-8026 or e-mail her at nmt57@msn.com.  It's really a prettyfun job and in between customers you can drink coffee and
read--what could be better?

We periodically hold fundraising events for the library needs. Click here to see videos of our recent fundraiser, The Ducky Derby.
