It’s Been An Honor and a Privilege. It has been an honor and privilege to serve as President of the Friends of Cabell County Public Library for the past two years. Preparing this message provided a welcome opportunity to reflect on our journey together. I was a relatively new board member when I stepped into this role, and following Jim Casto – a long-term pillar of our board—was admittedly intimidating. I am profoundly grateful for Jim’s consistent support and guidance during my tenure. Our success is a testament to the work of our dedicated volunteers, the generosity of our donors, and the partnership we share with our library staff. Together we have strengthened our library to continue to provide vital services to our community. Because of your support we were able to: • Fund Summer Reading Programs for both children and adults • Sponsor Bolt for Books in support of the Tri-State Literacy Council • Host successful book sales in February, June, and October • Launch Friends Social Media Page Our new Development Committee is already hard at work on creative ideas for membership growth and new tiers to better serve our supporters. I am thrilled to welcome Jan Flinchum as our next board president. With Jan as president and Sarah Walling as vice- president the board is in incredibly capable hands. I look forward to supporting them in my new capacity as past president. I encourage you to continue exploring our resources and supporting our mission. Our next book sale is June 5 and 6, 2026 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We look forward to seeing you there! Thank you for the privilege of serving. Cheri Lindberg, President Friends of the Cabell County Public library
