President's Message - May 2020

The FAL Board recognizes that we may not be able to hold regular activities for at least the remainder of the year. We are bringing some of those events – docent talks and author events – to you for you to enjoy from your home. This is a first for us and we are very excited.

Support for the Library is the primary mission of FAL. We have cancelled major fundraising events at least for now and it’s not certain when we can go ahead with the Fall book sale or Live @ the Library. However, we still plan to honor our commitments to support the Library so that it can bring outstanding programs to Alamedans. Finally I want to acknowledge a very generous anonymous gift of $1,000 that will help us keep our pledge.

Your health and safety are of utmost importance. We thank you for your continued understanding and support. Be safe and take care of each other.

Karen Butter, President, FAL
