Member Library Spotlight
|
Union County Public Library, located north of Gainesville, first opened its doors on March 1, 1990, after a referendum was passed for a � millage ad valorem tax for the library's funding. Every two years the library referendum is placed on the ballot for its continued local funding.
On July 1, 2009, the community celebrated the opening of a new library building. The new facility was funded through a State Construction Grant, the sale of the old library, individual donors, years of fundraising efforts by library staff, and additional support from the Union County Board of County Commissioners. The Union County Public Library, relying on its residents for support, is truly the epitome of a community library.

Making Purchases on Amazon.com
|
One of the takeaways from the NEFLIN Annual Survey was that most members are not aware of NEFLIN's partnership with Amazon.
It's easy! Visit http://www.neflin.org/amazon
which will lead you to the Amazon website. Then purchase any items for yourself or your library. Amazon will then give NEFLIN a percentage of any purchases you make.
You can also share this with friends or family members. Anyone who makes a purchase after clicking on the link at http://www.neflin.org/amazon will help NEFLIN. Your privacy is maintained as all purchases are anonymous. In these lean times, we appreciate your support!
