Summer Book Sale - by the Friends of HPL

The Friends of HPL Summer Sale is fast approaching.  It is June 12th – 14th at the Resurrection Metropolitan Community Church. 

Please help us get the word out to our customers.

Between now and June 14th, please help by:

·         Providing a push card to each customer at checkout

·         Mentioning the sale to customers at checkout, or in other interactions, using the following talking points:
o   I want to make you aware of the Summer Book Sale hosted by the Friends of the Houston Public Library.
o   The Friends is a non-profit organization that supports HPL.
o   Most of their support comes from funds raised through their book sales.
o   They will have over 20,000 books available – most for just $1 or $2.
o   You can find more information at their website (listed on the bottom of the card).

The Friends are a critical partner to HPL.  Their hard work has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for HPL over the years.  Last year alone, the Friends provided $137,000 to HPL – funds used provide scholarship opportunities for HPL staff, funding for conference attendance and training, and more.

Thanks!
