Library friends distribute store proceeds
Beacon Reads, the bookstore operated by the Friends of the Howland Public Library, will not be accepting donations until the second week of April. Proceeds from the store, which is staffed by volunteers and located adjacent to the library on Main Street, fund a variety of activities.
Bookstore proceeds have provided $400 to the Teen Club, $200 for a bus to Albany for Library Advocacy Day, $500 for passes to the Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum, $500 for American Museum of Natural History passes, $500 to expand the Tech Club, $1,200 for Battle of the Books transportation and t-shirts and $1,000 to provide Freegal music service to patrons.
