Friends of the Hackley Public Library Present "The Bling Thing" February 9th and 10th in Muskegon

It's one of our most treasured spots in town, the Hackley Library.  Our history, our heritage and our community resource for research, connections and entertainment.  The external beauty of the building alone is enough to fight for, but one step inside and you'll see that it's not only a library, it's a living museum of all things Muskegon.  It's very much hallowed grounds in Downtown Muskegon.

Like any other historic place, especially a historic place that still functions, there are those who use the library and there are those who work to make sure that where the library needs a hand, the needs are met.  Let's be honest too, what business...let alone a business like a library doesn't run into a shortfall once in a while?  This is where the Friends of the Hackley Public Library come in.  Founded in 1973 the Friends of the Hackley Public Library set a yearly goal to raise funds for the library to support the hundreds of free programs offered to adults and children.  Early reading skills are taught, history, music, technology classes and author visits are all part of the work done by the Friends group, and it's all done with making Muskegon a better place for everyone in mind.

With that dedication to fundraising comes the actual fundraising itself.  They have the book sale annually, they take donations of course and to add a little sizzle in the middle of Winter, they have The Bling Thing which is coming up at the Century Club Ballroom on February 9th and 10th. 

You'll have a chance to be part of the grand opening night where you'll get first shot at the "bling".  You'll also find a great assortment of wine, fine chocolate a Younker's coupon book and more.  That's a $10 donation to get in to.  Saturday the fun picks back up from 10a-2p with Biggby providing some refreshments while you shop to benefit the Friends of the Library.

I had a chance to catch up with Barb Klingenmaier who's the President of the Friends of the Hackey Library to talk about this years event.  Take a listen.



If you're looking to sparkle and shine a little more, great.  If you want to indulge on wine and chocolate that's cool too or....if you just want to do your part and help preserve and protect such an incredible part of Muskegon while rubbing elbows with some pretty cool people, make sure you stop into The Bling Thing at the Century Club Ballroom on Feb 9th and 10th.  You can learn more about the Friends of the Hackley Public Library at the link below.
