NCC Friends of the Library

NCC Friends of the Library Make a difference….become a FRIEND OF THE LIBRARY! Please let me introduce our Newport Cultural Center Friends of the Library.

We are a group whose aim is to support the NCC Library. We are a 501 (c) (3) public charity. We earn money through a local Charity Event and through book and bake sales. Our efforts support library programs such as the children’s summer program and an ebook online library for patrons. We also set up a book a month purchase for our librarian’s choice books. Another project we have sponsored two yea

rs in a row, and plan to continue, is the “Short Story Contest” which inspires writers to write and submit original stories which are evaluated by a team of experienced judges. Winners read their stories and are awarded prizes at a reception. This summer we are sponsoring a “Children’s Short Story Contest” and hope to inspire young writers with adult writers as judges. The NCC library provides many services not only to Newport but to many nearby communities as well.

Thank you everyone who stopped by the NCC Friends of the Library table at the People’s United Methodist Church yard sale in Newport today.
We saw many people we know and met a lot of people that we didn’t. The weather was a little threatening in the morning, but it turned out to be a gorgeous day.
All of the proceeds from our table today will go towards helping the Newport Cultural Center.
Stay tuned for upcoming events!

Fall is here…and so is fall cleaning!
If you have any items you would like to donate to the FOL table at the yard sale on Friday you can drop them off at the church on Friday morning at 7:30. Larry and Kathy will be there to greet you.
All proceeds from our table go to the NCC Friends of the Library.
We do so many great things to help out the library and community.
Have a great day!
