| Donate books to Friends of East Atlanta Library annual book sale | |
Friends of East Atlanta Library (FEAL) is looking for a lot of gently read books for its big annual fundraising book sale during the EAV Strut on September 21st. The group is accepting book donations now at the East Atlanta Library as long as they are free of mold and in fair condition. Money raised at the FEAL book sale primarily helps fund children's programming and the widely circulated book collections. Library budget cuts over the past few years have eliminated funding for children's programming and with East Atlanta's growing number of younger families with children, maintaining the library's great programs and activities has become one of FEAL's top priorities.
You may bring your books to the circulation desk at the library anytime during regular library hours. If you are interested in supporting the library by becoming a member of FEAL, pick up a brochure and membership form at the circulation desk. If you would like to volunteer to help sort books before the sale (with a chance to get a first peak at the offerings) or work on the day of the book sale, please contact FEAL at friendsofeal@gmail.com.

Friday Food for Firefighters
|
Summer is in full swing and it's a great time to deliver a meal to our local firefighters! Providing a meal means having a cooked meal to hand over to the firefighters at Station 13 on Friday evening. The Firefighters request food without pork. A full kitchen is available to them at the Fire Station and they can heat something as needed. Meals should be delivered between 5 - 5:30 PM.
Sign up here (password is "friday") to see what dates are available for meals. You might think about sharing different parts of a meal with friends. For example: One or two people might provide the main meal, another could provide bread or a side dish or dessert.
Please call Beth-Ann Buitekant (404-455-8746) for information or with questions.
