Friends say “Thank You” at Annual Meeting and Shed–Raising
T
he Friends’ annual meeting on June 11 was hardly business-as-usual. Instead, the Friends used the occasion as an opportunity to thank the many individuals who contributed their time, energy, commitment and financial resources to recover from the fire in the Friends’ storage shed in March 2007. Four individuals received special recognition for their dedicated assistance to the Mike Turner, Charles Nickelson, Glenn Parks and Dan Jewell display their certificates of Friends membership. Friends: honorees Mike Turner, Director of General Services for Durham County, Dan Jewell of Coulter Jewell Thames PA, and Charles Nickelson and Glenn Parks of Roughton Nickelson De Luca Architects, PA were each presented with a framed certificate of Friends membership. The successful installation of the shed was attributable to a host of dedicated people, but the organizations represented by the four honorees provided extraordinary support. The architectural firms of Coulter Jewell Thames and Roughton Nickelson De Luca provided pro bono architecture and landscape architecture services. Mike Turner, Ronnie Butler and the General Services team of Durham County provided constant and above-and-beyond maintenance and support during the long year between the fire and the unveiling of the new shed. Before the meeting adjourned, the new spacious and attractive storage shed made its debut, and book sale co-chairs Jane Goodridge and Carol Ann Walters, happily performed the ceremonial ribbon cutting. Friends leadership expressed gratitude for all of the people who helped recover from the fire and who generated the support needed to acquire the new and improved shed.

Library Rises to NEH Challenge
W
ith the help of the Foundation, Friends, staff and the people of Durham County, the library met a January 31, 2008 deadline and raised more than $1.5 million to meet the National Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant of $500,000. To meet the NEH Challenge Grant, the library had to reach an ambitious goal – raising three dollars for every one dollar of the $500,000 grant. This goal would not have been attainable without the support of corporations like GlaxoSmithKline. With its gift of $800,000, GSK became the largest private donor ever to the Durham County Library. Another major factor in making the match was the additional support the community gave by participating in Friends of the Durham Library book sales and purchasing memberships to the organization. “Because of the success of our book sales and the support of our new and renewing members, the Friends were able to give more than $100,000 to the library to help meet the challenge grant,” said Jeff Laufenberg, former president of the Friends’ Board of Directors. “The people in our community really understand that their support is the difference between a good library and a great library.”
The Friends Make a Difference in the Library Wiiiiiii—it’s gaming! These programs have been extremely popular with middle school and high school boys, groups that are historically hard to reach through library programming. Gaming is not just for young boys, however. A 2005 survey by the Entertainment Software Association found that the average game player’s age is 30 and that women over the age of 18 make up 28 percent of the game playing population.

T
he Friends of the Durham Library welcomes gamers of all ages to the library. With proceeds from the Friends book sales, teen librarians Autumn Winters, Angie Pridgen and Archie Burke purchased three Wii consoles, Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero, Mario Kart and WiiSports for the library. Gaming is fun! At the library, teens play games for free that they don’t have at home. They can practice with their friends, make new friends and show younger kids and adults how to play. This summer, visit Main Library for Wii! It’s Tuesday! on Tuesday afternoons 3:30 to 5:00 p.m., or once per month Wii Wednesday at North Regional Library 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., or Wii Fun and Video Game Night at East Regional Library coming soon on Thursday evenings at 6:30 p.m. For details, check out the library website program calendar at www.durhamcountylibrary.org All the games at the library are easy for non-gamers to learn. The library hosts gaming events for all ages, such as the summer Fami-Wii Bowling Tournament, in which families competed in WiiSports bowling during June and July. Mark your calendar for Teen Read Week, Oct. 12 to 18, 2008, and fun gaming events scheduled all week at East Regional Library.

Autumn Winters started gaming programs for teens at the Main library in the Fall of 2006 using her own personal equipment. Hundreds of teens turned up to play Dance Dance Revolution (DDR), Tony Hawk Underground, SSX Tricky and Namco Classics on the Playstation 2 game console. They also played board games and party games, including Jenga and Connect Four. The program expanded in 2007 when YA librarians at East and North Regional held their first video gaming programs to great acclaim. In April, 2008, a $1,580 grant from the Friends of the Durham Library made it possible for Durham County Library to expand teen game programming and upgrade library equipment to the Nintendo Wii. Now, during the traditional school year, North Regional Library holds weekly teen gaming programs that attract crowds of 20 or more. Main Library offers weekly gaming year-round, and East Regional Library’s regular programs will kick off in the fall. The new Wii consoles accommodate up to four teams of four people. These gaming programs will serve up to 200 people per month—what a great investment by the Friends of the Durham Library!
“Video games are like a magnet for all kids. When the games get started, there is a group of kids standing at the door and there are faces pressed against the glass. It’s terrific to have that kind of enthusiasm at the library.” –Archie Burke

tanford L. Warren Library has received a Golden Leaf Award for Community Appearance. The award, presented by the Durham City-County Appearance Commission on May 22, is for design excellence in the category of Community Properties. The Stanford L. Warren Library was one of only six honorees out of 70 contenders. “It is an honor to be recognized by the City-County Appearance Commission,” said Skip Auld, Durham County Library Director. “We worked very hard to respect and preserve the historic beauty of the Stanford L. Warren Branch in the renovation design.” In total, three Durham County Libraries received Golden Leaf nominations. East Regional Library was nominated for a Golden Leaf Award in the Community Properties category and North Regional Library was nominated in the Sustainable Properties category.

John Moorhead joins Dale Gaddis (left) and Placide Barada in celebrating the Friends 25th anniversary.
J
ohn Lynn Moorhead (1913-2006) believed in books and lived his life accordingly. A gifted storyteller and writer, he collected books and hunted bargains at library and rummage sales. Moorhead was the first president of the Friends of the Durham Library and we celebrate his memory during the Friends’ 40th anniversary year. Upon accepting the gavel on February 15, 1968, Moorhead announced the first county-wide event of the Friends, an open house at Main Library to show visitors the urgent need for new library facilities. In his acceptance speech, Moorhead expressed the hope that Durham County would “unite and find a meeting ground around books.” The Friends of the Durham Library was established to galvanize the community to vote for a $2.5 million bond for the new Main Library building. In her History of Public Library Service in Durham, North Carolina 1897 to 1997, Jessica Harland-Jacobs describes a multifaceted campaign to lobby for a new Main Library facility. The Friends “sent representatives to speak at civic clubs, schools and Parent Teacher Association meetings; they mailed circulars to library patrons; they even wrote letters to children asking them to tell their parents to vote in favor of the library bond issue.”

Cumulative proceeds from the Friends book sales topped $675,875 in June 2008, and have benefited a broad range of library programs and services since 1993.
In 1968 Durham County residents rejected a bond issue for a combined library and public parking facility. However, eight years later, in 1976, voters overwhelmingly approved a bond issue for a new main public library, which opened in March 1980 and remains today at 300 N. Roxboro Street in downtown Durham. For four decades, the Friends have stimulated improvements at the library. By launching popular sales of donated books, they generate revenue for library programs and services. Early sales netted $2,000 to $3,000. By 1993 the Friends were organizing three book sales each year and proceeds topped $20,000 annually. Records show that the Friends have raised more than $675,000 since 1993. Many of these funds went to work in library programs and services including: Summer Reading Club; the North Carolina Room; annual subscriptions to Book Page and Foundation Center; video games for teens (see related article on p. 2) and so much more. In 2005, Moorhead, on oxygen and past 90, attended the Friends of the Durham
Library spring book sale. Longtime Friends volunteer Jon Miller says, “He made it to almost every sale since the beginning. I think he and Leonard Sherwin got the first sale together in the late 1970’s. Many of the books, priced in the 10 to 25 cents range, came from the library annex in an effort to clean stuff out before the new Main Library opened.” Moorhead died on February 12, 2006 at the age of 92. His daughters, whom Moorhead lovingly referred to as “The Three Graces”—Lynn Petch, Mary Moorhead Ball and Joanna Taylor— found a message in his library. “We found an envelope in a book that said the Friends should get $1,000,” wrote Ms. Petch, the eldest, in February 2008. “So here it is. A book of all things!” Petch remembers her father being sad when he had read all the library books in one Dewey Decimal category at the local branch. “At home, there were always books around. They gradually took over all of the shelves and closets,” writes Petch. With gratitude for his generosity, the Friends celebrate the enduring legacy of this warm, cheerful man.
How to donate books: The Friends of the Durham Library welcomes donations of books, audiobooks, CDs and DVDs, except for: encyclopedias, magazines, cassettes, records and condensed books. Donations are accepted at any library location during regular hours. Large donations (several boxes) are accepted at the Main Library garage on Tuesday between 9 a.m. and noon, when the Friends of the Durham Library are present and can help unload.

The Friends of the Durham Library now sells books throughout the year with satellite book sales at four library locations. Volunteers Angela Zoltners, Melissa Young and Linda Davis keep the satellite book sales stocked with a variety of fiction and nonfiction titles, so there’s always a fresh selection. Look for a book cart, table or shelves loaded with great bargains on gently used books at these libraries: • • • •
East Regional, 211 Lick Creek Ln. North Regional, 221 Milton Rd. Parkwood, 5122 Revere Rd. Southwest, 3605 Shannon Rd.
Book Sale Chairs Jane Goodridge and Carol Ann Walters launched this service to increase book sale revenue, and it is working. The new venture has increased revenue by 10 percent. “We expect that the satellite sales will generate the same amount of money as one day of a regular book sale,” says Friends Treasurer Mary Auen. “It is exciting because the Friends will be able to do even more to help the library.”
