Go Greene!
The Friends of the Fairborn Library have decided to help Fairborn residents do their part in keeping our Earth a little greener. To help reduce the use of plastic bags, we now offer reusable, recyclable polypropylene bags for library patrons to carry books home in! Bags are only $3.00 each and come in blue, red, hunter green, and black. Currently, only blue bags are available, but more colors will arrive soon! The bags feature the Greene County Public Library logo in white ink, with “Friends of the Fairborn Library” below that. These very excellent bags are strong and water resistant.
The bags are quite snazzy. The handles are long enough to go over your shoulder comfortably. I just checked and was able to fit 15 novels and 10 DVDs in the bag at the same time. It was really heavy and full, but the bag seemed to be able to handle that much weight, no problem!
The $3.00 price tag goes to cover the cost of making the bags as well as a small portion to the Friends group for supporting the library. Every year the Friends buy new furnishings and materials for the Fairborn Library as well as sponsoring great programs, like the Dulcimer group that was here last week. Your money will go to help make your library even better.
A couple of the employees here plan to purchase extras to use for grocery shopping; these bags are much more durable than the typical plastic grocery bag. They are just as good as the reusable bags stores sell, but you can feel good about the effect your dollars will have. All the proceeds stay right here helping your community. Stop by the Fairborn Library today and pick up a couple of these great bags. You’ll be supporting the library and the Earth!
