It's National Friends of Libraries Week!
From ALA:
"Friends of Libraries groups have their very own national week of celebration! United for Libraries will coordinate the 12th annual National Friends of Libraries Week Oct. 15-21, 2017. The celebration offers a two-fold opportunity to celebrate Friends. Use the time to creatively promote your group in the community, to raise awareness, and to promote membership. This is also an excellent opportunity for your library and Board of Trustees to recognize the Friends for their help and support of the library."
The Friends of Maxwell celebrates the week this year with several events:Annual Open House on Saturday, October 21 at Maxwell from 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. The Open House is a great way to learn about what the Friends of Maxwell do.
