Friends Of The Library

MEET THE FRIENDS

The Friends of the Library is a group of community members dedicated to raising funds to support the Library. Our Friends raise money for everything from basic supply needs, to special programs. We would not be where we are today without the loyalty and generosity of our Friends! To date, our Friends of the Library have raised more than $400,000 since 1978. These funds have been used to purchase equipment and supplies for the Library including items for the new MakerStudio and the Seed Library, purchase books and materials for the collection, provide programming for all ages, present reading programs and prizes throughout the year, as well as purchase helpful items like the circulation baskets!  All of their contributions help make our Library such a special place!

Our Friends support the Library by:

Treating our patrons to Kona Ice to kick off Summer Reading

Hosting Book and Bake Sales and silent auctions

Providing funds and supplies for the Seed Library, MakerStudio, and much, much more!
