Friends of the Library

The FRIENDS are a group of volunteers who help the library expand its services to the community by:

• Raising money through used book sales, usually twice a year.
• Assisting with various library programs (hosting programs, straightening shelves, registering voters, and more).
• Funding special programs and additional equipment (Friends Family Sundays, computers, projectors, rainy day plastic bags, and more).
