For the girls: Michelle Bereznyak was the FPC student chosen to attend the conference. Alyssa Santore, an FPC student, is the alternate.

The Friends of the Library, an independent, not-for-profit support group, for the Flagler County Library nearly met an untimely end at the beginning of this year.
With the passing of Terry Jones, who served 14 years as president of the Friends, and then the passing of Terry’s husband Ken a month later in 2018, the board of directors was at a loss. Ken Jones was the organization’s treasurer.
Long time fellow board members, who would normally step in to fill the gaps were also experiencing health issues and could not take over the ambitious standard set by the Jones.
“Without a board the Friends would be unable to operate and in effect cease to exist,” Library Director Holly Abanese said in a press release. “Fortunately, a nominating committee came up with a group of talented people who were willing to take on the task of administrating the Friends,” Albanese said.
At a meeting of the Friends on Saturday, Jan. 19, a new board of directors was elected.
New board: Carl Laundrie, president; Peggy Mattingly, vice president; Mark Breidenstein, treasurer; Ron Pokigo will continue to serve as assistant treasurer; Ann Breidenstein, secretary; Keith Mattingly, technical director; and Dan Malueg, government liaison.
To join the Friends of the Library, pick up a membership application at the library at 2500 Palm Coast Parkway NW or at the branch library in Bunnell. You can also email [email protected].
