            Article text:
            "Library group says public awareness pays off
            This summer, the Friends of the Library group is having its most successful fundraising season ever.
            Since May, it has taken in close to $2,000 through its membership drive, private donations, its historical walking tour and a barbecue at Compton's IGA.
            By selling pop, hotdogs and sausages in front of the store Saturday, the group raised $125.
            Organizer Lesley Coo says the group's persistence is paying off.
            'We're doing well, but then again, we've been at it for a while. We're very pleased with the support we've received through donations and new memberships and we think that's a result of increased public awareness about our lack of funding and the need to raise money,' she said.
            Thirty raffle tickets were sold at the barbecue and a draw for three items totally close to $500 will be held Oct. 23.
            First prize is a handmade twin size quilt, second prize is an afghan and third prize, a cross-stitch sampler. Tickets are $1 and can be purchased at the library.
            The draw will take place in conjunction with one of the group's upcoming fundraisers, a book sale at the library.
            MURDER MYSTERY
            Earlier that month, Oct. 1, the Friends of the Library will be presenting another murder mystery night at the library. Tickets are $15 per person and $25 a couple and will be available in September.
            The group is also already planning for the Yuletide season and has set a date for its pre-Christmas Arts and Crafts Show and Sale.
            It will take place Nov. 5 and 6 at the library.
            All money raised will be used to help move the facility toward automation.
            400 BOOKS
            During busy periods, as many as 400 books are manually checked out in a day.
            The library's proposed operating costs were cut by $75,000 in this year's municipal budget, leaving it unable to hire extra staff to prepare for the conversion.
            As a result the library will be closed Mondays and Fridays this year to get ready for the changes."
