Fundraising Events
Friends Quilt
The Friends are handcrafting a bookshelf quilt to hang prominently in our library. For more information on the Friends Quilt and how you can participate, download the Quilt Flyer (PDF format requires Adobe Reader).
Groups
GSU Writers Ink (formerly GSU Writers Group) - Children’s Authors Wannabes and Novel Writer's Knock-Outs have combined to create the GSU Writers Group now the GSU Writers Ink. If you are interested in writing, this group is for you. They get together to encourage each other and serve as a sounding board for one another.

On September 19, 2007 the Friends of the GSU Library hosted a book sale and displayed Artist Fay Zalecki's work. For more information and to see photos taken of the event, go to the previous events page.

The library is in need of three display cabinets each costing approximately $1,200.
