(ROCKWALL-April 21, 2013) Friends of the Rockwall County Library will host their last meeting of the 2012-13 year at 11 a.m.  Tuesday, May 14 in the library’s Community Room.  Darlene Bealmear, a past president, will install the officers for the 2013-14 year.

The outstanding volunteers will be recognized with the announcement of the recipients of the 2013 Hartman and Celia Hays awards.  The Hartman recipient is selected by popular vote of the Friends membership, while the library director and the 2012 awardee selects the Celia Hays recipient for 2013.

Friends meets six times a year and all meetings, with the exception of the Christmas Luncheon, are held in the Rockwall County Library.  The group works to promote the interest and welfare of the Library and profits from their various fundraising events supplement the County library budget, paying for special children’s programming, adult literacy programs, subscriptions and other items.
