It’s a brand new year and an opportunity for Stuart community members to join a newly formed group at the library.

People Active for Library Service President Carol Brewer says their organization helps support the Stuart Public Library financially by supplementing funds for programs and projects through fundraisers, membership dues and donations. Their group started this past June with 20 members and they’ve grown to 50 members.

Some of the events that the PALS support are the Library Foundation’s auction in October, along with the youth department’s pumpkin patch event and hosting the inaugural Day of the Dead event.

Individual memberships are $10 and a family membership is $25.

Call or stop by the library for more information.
