Local Friends of Public Libraries Chapter to hold Celebration
for the Accomplishments of the Roanoke Public Libraries

ROANOKE, VA – The Friends of the City of Roanoke Public Libraries will recognize and celebrate the work and dedication of Roanoke City Council members past and present for their support of the Library Master Plan which has improved the Roanoke City public libraries substantially since 2005.

The celebration will begin at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 15th at the Roanoke City Council meeting held in the Noel C. Taylor Municipal Building, City Council Chambers 4th floor, 215 Church Ave., Roanoke. The Roanoke Friends of the Library ask that you bring a small book and a friend to help in the celebration.
A presentation by the Roanoke Public Library Advisory Board, Roanoke Library Foundation, Roanoke School Board, and the Friends of the City of Roanoke Public Libraries will provide the council with a reminder of the great constituency the friends of the library represent. The celebration will recognize the accomplishments including -the award winning Valley View e-branch and Garden City e-branch, which opened with more than 25,000 visitors in 2007. The Jackson Park branch and Gainsboro branch opened new community and study rooms. Teen centers for libraries are to be completed in early 2009. These were recommendations of the 2005 Comprehensive Library Study and reflect a response to the local needs.
