Join the Friends, swap some seeds in February

The Friends of the Madison County Library's membership drive will continue through March, according to a library news release.

All money raised by the Friends goes back into the library through book purchasing, program funding and special initiatives.

The library's annual Spring Book Sale is planned for March 19-27 during library hours. A special preview sale for Friends members is 5-8 p.m. March 18. Volunteers are needed to begin sorting the room of donated books. Anyone who can volunteer is asked to Sara Carter at (706) 795-2952.

The library notes that "A Good Life," an original play about Madison County, will be performed at 7 p.m. Feb. 26 at Trinity Baptist Church; again at 7 p.m. at Springfield Baptist Church; and 2 p.m. Feb. 28 in the Madison County Senior Center.

The play is a reprisal of the 2008 play directed by Stephanie Astalos-Jones and starring local residents. "A Good Life" is a collection of personal stories from a variety of Madison County residents spanning age, race and gender, offering a varied portrayal of the area. Admission costs $5.

Copies of selections from the play will be available for purchase. This project is made possible through the support of the Georgia Council of the Arts, the Northeast Georgia Regional Development Center and the Friends of the Library.

The library announces the following programs for this month:

Seed Swap: Bring your extra seeds to share and swap at 9 a.m. Feb. 20. This is a way to share the wealth in seed packets and try some new varieties for free. Lab
