Greetings from the FOL President

Greetings,

On behalf of everyone who enjoys UNCP’s Library services, the Board of Directors and the staff of the Mary Livermore Library thank each of you, for giving your time and talents, as well as those of you who help support informational literacy.  Since 1990, the UNCP Friends of the Library organization has worked to promote awareness of and interest in the Mary Livermore Library. The Friends organization also provides opportunities for members to get acquainted with each other and UNCP’s campus through a series of annual events. These events include author visits and book signings, faculty presentations, a student scholarship ceremony,
and various other campus and community collaborations.

In 2020, the Friends of the Library will celebrate 30 years of enriching and changing the lives of students, staff, faculty, and the surrounding communities by promoting and elevating the resources, services and operations of the Mary Livermore Library. Lets’ ensure that 2019-2020 will be instrumental in this momentous celebration!

Again, your Board joins me in thanking each of you for making UNCP’s Friends of the Library, a true beacon of information, entertainment, and, most of all, intellectual growth. We welcome your ideas, as we continue to build a strong and vibrant Friends organization.

Here's to another great year and I hope to see you at the Mary Livermore Library soon! 

Sincerely and speak your truth,
Dr. Robert L. Canida, II
Friends of the Library President, 2019-2020
