Threads of our community award

October 7 was Friends‟ day at the MN Library
Association Conference in Rochester. In the morning
Karen and Annette (who planned and assembled the
quilt) joined Shirley Edmonson in presenting the
Threads of the Community Quilt Project. After
presentations by Rochester, Staples, and Roseville,
Barbi Byers announced that Rochester had won the
”Best Project by Friends Award,” including a check
for $1,000! Congratulations to all those who worked
on the quilt project and on the presentation.
Later that afternoon, Mary Barrett and Al
Dollerschell made a presentation about Friends‟
bookstores, called “Sell Every Book that you Can!”
Many of our library friends were there to support
us!
