"And the Friends' morning teas are legendary - the group often caters for various events at the Library, and their delicious spreads are famous," Mr Jones said.
The next morning tea will be held at the Forster library on Monday, July 29 from 10am, and new friends are welcome.
It's an event in itself, as guest speaker Jeff Miller will entertain with stories of his career as a skipper and captain aboard a variety of sailing and commercial boats visiting ports throughout Australia and the Pacific, Alaska and Tahiti.
The group will also hold its annual general meeting during the morning.
There's no need to book, just turn up, ready for one of those amazing morning teas and to make some new friends.
