Welcome to the award-winning The Hill Country Podcast. The Texas Hill Country is one of the most beautiful places on earth. In this podcast, Hill Country resident Tom Fox visits with the people and organizations that make this the most unique area of Texas. This week Tom visits with Skye Alexander, President of the Friends of the Kerrville Public Library.
Skye Alexander is a passionate individual who has dedicated the past eight years to the Butt-Holdsworth Memorial Library in Kerrville, serving as the president of the Friends of the Library. Skye’s perspective on “Friends of the Library: supporting libraries through fundraising and services” is rooted in her belief that the Friends of the Library is a crucial organization that raises funds to support various library needs, from programs and infrastructure to security systems and book purchases. Her involvement with the library began with an invitation from a fellow writer, and since then, she has been instrumental in raising funds through memberships, book sales, and donations. Skye also manages a bookstore with a diverse collection of 30,000 books, and she is currently working on expanding Friends of the Library’s online presence and implementing innovative initiatives such as book bundles. Join Tom Fox and Skye Alexander on this episode of the Hill Country Podcast to learn more about her experiences and the Kerrville public library.
