Thanks to Gay Lyons for her article about one of Knoxville's most precious resources: our volunteers. This touching piece profiles several notables in our community, one of which is FOL volunteer Angie Flemmons. We are very pleased to see her applauded in this way!

MAKE A DIFFERENCE...

Our goal: gather enough age-appropriate books so that every child and teen recipient of the Empty Stocking Fund program gets a great book to call their own. Our theme, Book by Book says it all – every book donated counts! You can have your own mini-drive by gathering books from your neighbors, church, business or school, or simply drop a couple books off at your nearest branch. For more information, please e-mail books@knoxfriends.org or call 215-8775.

Our warmest thanks to the UT Athletic Department, for holding Book Drive Events where donors got free admission to swim invitationals, volleyball matches and basketball games. We collected almost 1,000 books this way!
