What Your Money Buys

When you purchase a FOCL membership, give to one of our fundraising campaigns, or shop at one of our book sales, you are enriching the lives of so many in our community.  Without generous donors like you, the library would not be able to provide such high-quality programs, nor such a  wide range of materials to the public.  In recent years, FOCL has furnished the library with approximately $23,000 per annum to cover expenses.  Here are just a few examples of what your money will go towards purchasing this year. 

By the way, when we say, "FOCL funds...," what we are really saying is, "this is what YOU, the public, are providing for the library with your donations."  So, the FOCL Board of Directors would like to give an enormous THANK YOU to the Corrales Library patronage for your generous support.  The community spirit on which the library was founded is still alive and well today!
