Thank you to FOPL members and Bookmark volunteers, customers and book donors. Membership dues, sales at our Bookmark Bookstore and donations from our members and other library supporters fund FOPL’s annual grants.
Thanks also to members who contributed so generously to our special spring Annual Grants fundraising drive. Your contributions are helping FOPL go the extra mile to support the Oakland Public Library this year.
Thank you! - Winifred Walters, President
