This year's @fresnolibrary Annual Poetry Contest r This year's @fresnolibrary Annual Poetry Contest received 299 submissions! This really is the land of poets! Congratulations to all the winners, as well as everyone who entered. Sunday's awards ceremony was packed!

Our President, Shannon Wise, was in attendance to say a few words about why we do the work that we do. We sponsor the prizes for this event each year and we're very happy to do it! We sincerely thank the judges and the Library staff that make it happen every year, as well as everyone who gives poetry a try, whether it be for the first time or the fiftieth.

It's Friday, so we can have an outdated meme forma It's Friday, so we can have an outdated meme format as a treat.

You can become a member of the Friends of the Fresno County Public Library today (or anytime!) for just $25 a year and take comfort in the fact that your investment will pay dividends (via programs and services at the @fresnolibrary-- you will not make any money, just to be clear).

Visit the link in our bio or fresnofol.org/join to become a member!
The Friends of the Library is a 501(c)(3) organiza The Friends of the Library is a 501(c)(3) organization, and while you may think of us first and foremost as a source for cheap used books that help raise funds for the Library, we're also a membership organization!

We're always looking for new members, especially ones who are looking to get more engaged, whether that be on our countywide board or at a local branch! There are plenty of branches in the system that don't currently have Friends groups, and we'd especially love to find patrons of those branches who are looking to get involved!

If you'd like to become a member, head to fresnofol.org/join! Individual memberships are just $25 a year. If you have any questions or want more information on finding or starting a branch chapter, email us at info@fresnofol.org!
