MILFORD — Activities listed for Milford Public Library Oct. 18-24:

Celebrate National Friends of the Library Week

National Friends of the Library Week is Oct. 18-24. The Friends of the Milford Public Library will have tables set up in the library all week for a membership drive and have information on how our group works to support the library. Refreshments will be served.

There are several levels of membership; Student/senior is $5; individual is $10; family is $15 and corporate is $25 annually. The Friends help the library in many ways; by sorting books for book sales, planning fundraisers and events and assisting library staff.

On Oct. 22, local author Natalie Replogle, will be at the library to speak about her work and do a book signing. Replogle has written three books: “A Rescued Love,” “A Rescued Hope” and “A Rescued Heart.” These titles are available for checking out at the library.

Mark your calendars for the annual Friends of the Library Book and Bake Sale scheduled for Nov. 20 and 21. Bring any gently used donations to the library meeting room for sorting as soon as possible.
