Recent Activities
End Of Year Book Sale
It was our last big blowout sale of the year, featuring both books and jewelry. The sale was held November 13 through 15, with a special preview night for members only on Wednesday, November 12. There was a steady crowd of customers every day of the sale. Jewelry sales did very well this year, and Angie Mambu and her team outdid themselves on the displays. Many people picked up books for gifts, books for themselves, and even books for upcoming grandchildren!​
For those of you who were looking for poinsettias, never fear. The Friends will be selling poinsettias and books on December 6, when Santa visits the library, and December 7 at the Horsham Farmers' Market Pop-Up Sale which is also at the library.
The Friends Annual Membership Meeting
On November 5, the Friends held their Annual Membership Meeting. All Friends Members were invited to attend. Prior to the meeting, the audience enjoyed a slide show, displaying the highlights from the past year. The meeting included a presentation from the Library Director, Regina Vesely, who spoke about the Summer Reading Program and about the new Video Game library, both of which were sponsored by the Friends. The attendees also heard about the Friends financial status, and member David Wheeler provided information on the activities of the Investment Committee. Elections for officers were held. Carolyn Kushner is the new President. Barbara Shaffer is Recording Secretary, and Angie Mambu is Corresponding Secretary. Carol Overvold and Catherine Jabusch retained their positions as Vice President and Treasurer. The Friends also added a new Board Member - Jill Etter, and bid a fond farewell to Jean Marie Bliss, who served on the Board for many years. Congratulations to our new officers and members. We expect more activities and initiatives in 2026.
Eric Mintel Investigates
Getting people into the Halloween spirit, the Horsham Library hosted a "Paranormal Night". The guest speaker was Eric Mintel, host of Eric Mintel Investigates. Eric talked about paranormal experiences with ghosts, possible alien sightings, yeti, and other unexplained phenomena. Many people attended this event and the audience was captivated with the descriptions, pictures, and videos that Eric brought with him. We suspect that many people checked their rear-view mirrors as they went home after the show!
Getting Cozy At Our Fall Book Sale
In September, it was time to get cozy at the Friends' Fall Book Sale. The sale was held September 17 through September 19, 2025. In addition to the regular dates, a special preview sale for Friends Members was held on the evening of September 16.
There was a good crowd and people picked up many books just in time for the cool weather to set in. Historical Fiction and Mysteries sold quickly, but adults and children found plenty of tales and interesting non-fiction to enjoy in a comfy chair by the fire.
