NEWS AND UPDATES FROM YOUR FRIENDS!
THE FRIENDS OF THE MILTON LIBRARY {FOML} is pleased to have established a relationship with Local Life Publishing, publisher of Milton Magazine, to publish and distribute our quarterly newsletter. We will be bringing you news and stories from the FOML, along with a calendar of programs and events at the Milton Library. Whether you call Milton, Alpharetta, Crabapple or Roswell home, one thing’s for sure–our community has gotten even better thanks to the addition of the new, state-of-the-art Milton Public Library. FOML, an all volunteer organization, has been around for years, advocating for a new library and the many benefits it brings… increased literacy, access to books, periodicals, computers, multi-media and more. It also serves as a place for people of all ages to gather. We are thrilled to have the new library as the centerpiece of our Milton community and the Friends Barn as our new home. FOML is a 501(c)3 organization established to raise funds and support the programs and ongoing needs of the library not covered in the Fulton County Library budget. We
also promote awareness of the library, hold fundraising events and encourage public support. INSIDE News & Updates, p1 There are many ways to get Volunteering, p2 involved!
