2017

uild a Better World. That’s the theme of this year’s Summer Reading program, but it also sums up the work Friends of Campbell County Public Library do every year. The Friends, a nonprofit, equal-opportunity group with 501c3 tax-exempt status, work to improve Library services, materials and facilities. And the Friends generously sponsor Summer Reading and all the great programs and events you’ll read about in this booklet. Thanks so much to the Friends for all they do for the Library and Campbell County. And, yes, for the world.
