Friends of Freeport Library to Host Silver Tea

The Friends of Freeport Library will hold its annual Silver Tea at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 4 at the Freeport Historical Museum. Attendance to the event is free, and donations will be accepted.

Light refreshments will be served, and guests will have the opportunity to explore the museum during the event. Librarians from Brazoria County Library System will also be there to share news about the library’s programs and services.

The Silver Tea is the group’s annual meeting and fundraiser. Membership to the group is free and dues are collected in the form of donations during the event. Anyone who donates to the Friends is considered a member.

This is the first year the Silver Tea will be held at the museum. “We’re excited to be there,” Beverly Nixon, Friends treasurer, said. “The museum and the library are both important to our community, and we’re happy to be working with them.”

Friends of Freeport Library is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Freeport Library, a branch of Brazoria County Library System. They raise funds throughout the year by selling book bags and donated books. These funds are then used to support services and programs at the library, including summer reading club, Author Day and Craft Day with Mrs. Claus.
