While we cannot stop using our devices for work and school communication, Screen-Free Week is an annual, international opportunity to carefully re-think how our digital world is affecting our real-life relationships. Participating is as simple as making a pledge to yourself to consider replacing screen-based entertainment with offline activities and downtime.
FURL’s first virtual meeting of the new year. We primarily discussed some of the library’s new initiatives and FURL’s author spotlight blog. In our last meeting, FURL approved to help fund holiday gift cards for the staff to local deli Pumpernickel and Rye. This also marks the one-year anniversary for the FURL blog and website. It’s amazing how much has happened in our world in just one year.
This weekend FURL was scheduled to host the Fall book sale. Unfortunately, the Coronavirus pandemic forced us to cancel our sale for the second time this year. “The changing times require FURL as a nonprofit to adapt, so we have kicked off our first ever donation based fundraising campaign” says Katie Esposito, FURL President.
