Love Our Libraries? FSL Needs Your Help!
Nancy McCluskey-Moore
The Friends of SaddleBrooke Libraries (FSL) raises money for our three SaddleBrooke community libraries. While our two HOAs provide space for the libraries, our HOA fees do not cover the cost of books, audiobooks, and DVDs. FSL raises funds to ensure our libraries can offer you interesting, up-to-date materials.
We need volunteers to help us:
* Attract and keep members
* Oversee our customer relationship management database
* Manage special events
* Keep residents informed about
FSL activities
Much of the work can be done from anywhere—perfect for seasonal residents or travelers. Please consider volunteering a few hours a month, in person or via the Internet. And be sure to let your friends and neighbors know about these opportunities.
If you are interested, contact FSL President Laura Pauli at 520-818-1742 or [email protected] or FSL Vice President Barry Swartzberg at 520-825-0463 or [email protected] or any FSL board member you may know.
FSL May Lecture to Offer Insight into Navajo Weavings
Nancy McCluskey-Moore
The Friends of SaddleBrooke Libraries (FSL) lecture on Thursday, May 12, at 4 p.m. in the DesertView Theater will feature Jerry Fruend. The title of his lecture is “The Gift of Spider Woman: Symbols and Motifs in Navajo Weavings.” Freund, an associate at Medicine Man Gallery on Tanque Verde at East Sunrise Drive, is an expert on Navajo weavings.
Freund will share his knowledge of Navajo weaving and show us examples of weavings that come forward in time from the 19th through the 20th century. According to Navajo lore, knowledge of weaving came from the Gods: It is the “Gift of the Holy Ones.” In addition to the traditional abstract, symbolic designs, the Navajo also make delightful weavings depicting plants, animals, people, and villages.
This lecture is free for FSL members and $5 for nonmembers.
