SUPPORTIVE ORGANIZATION: Powell River Friends of the Library Society is now known as qathet Friends of the Library Society after a unanimous vote by its members.

In a special resolution at a special general meeting, Powell River Friends of the Library Society changed its name to qathet Friends of the Library Society.

Friends of the library director Linda Harris said at the September 30 meeting, those in attendance voted unanimously in favour of the name change.

“The friends of the library supports the library in a number of ways, such as raising funds,” said Harris. “We have a book cube with books for sale there always and we have larger book sales several times during the year.

“Sometimes, there are other special events that are sponsored by the friends of the library to raise money.”

Harris said the money raised goes toward various programs at Powell River Public Library, or toward tangible items that can be funded.
