Friends of the Library

Friends of the Library

BooksThe Friends of the Library associations were established to create and stimulate public support of library programs, interpret the library to the community, encourage gifts to the library, and provide financial support beyond the library budget capacity. Their patronage and hard work enables the programs, at two locations, listed below!

Membership in Friends of the Library is open all residents at a variety of membership levels. Friends meets four times a year, some members help out with the book sale, some at other events. The support that Friends of the Library gives to our two locations enhances our patron's experience at the Libraries and is very much appreciated. Please consider joining by completing the form on this page.
