Friends of the Library

Our Friend’s Group is an excellent and supportive group that holds numerous fundraisers throughout the year and is very instrumental in organizing important events at the library. The group is always looking for new members to join. The only requirement is to be a library user and lover!

The Friends meet at 6:30 p.m. the first Monday in March, June, and the third Monday of September.

Our dues are $5.00 per year. Any money we raise through fundraisers and membership dues contributes to projects in the library.
