Dear editor and community,
With Bookfest 2017 now successfully completed, Friends of the Bowen Island Library want to express our deep appreciation to everyone who participated in this annual event. We want to thank islanders for their ongoing generosity by donating the books throughout the year that make this event possible.
There are many unsung heroes during the year who are key components in making Bookfest a success - the library staff who receive the donations and store them in the shed, the sorters who painstakingly sort, pack and store the books during the year and then all the volunteers who turn up for the setup, sale days and pack up at the school. We could not do this without their help. To the Bowen Irly Building Centre for their incredible contribution of truck loan to transport the books to and from the school, our deep appreciation.
And last but not least, special thanks go to our very generous landlords who continue to provide us with the space to sort and store books.
All the proceeds from Bookfest are used to support various library projects
Thank you, Bowen Island.
Greta Smith
Chair, Friends of the Bowen Island Library Society
