Rocky River Library looking for new ‘Friends’ - cleveland.com

ROCKY RIVER, Ohio -- The 14th annual National Friends of Libraries Week is coming up. All throughout October at the Rocky River Public Library, there will be a dizzying array of special incentives for renewing a Friends membership or signing up as a new Friend as part of their fundraising drive.

“Joining the Friends is a special way to make new friends, to give back to the community and to make the library even better. Friends automatically receive 10 percent off all fines at the checkout, as well as a one-year subscription to the Friends' newsletter,” according to the library’s information.

This year’s Friends fundraising will go toward purchasing a piece of equipment used for education about meal preparation and nutrition -- a Charlie Cart.

The Charlie Cart Project is a California-based non-profit, which describes the mobile kitchen as a “classroom to deliver hands-on nutrition education in any learning environment.”

The cart, which houses approximately 170 pieces of kitchen equipment -- from eating utensils to kitchen gadgets to pots and pans -- costs about $9,500 and includes 54 lesson plans.

The special Friends incentives at RRPL throughout October include:

· Kids Membership (16 or younger): $5. Receive one Mitchell’s Ice Cream free scoop certificate, library bookmark and pencil and one Bigmouth Donut coupon for a free donut.

· Individual Adult Membership: $10. Receive one Mitchell’s Ice Cream free scoop certificate, one Friends RRPL hand sanitizer and one Bigmouth Donut coupon for a free donut.
