Friends of the Library

The "Friends" organization is the fundraising division of the public library. In addition, the Friends sponsor programming and events, augment staff, and purchase items to supplement the Library budget. Joining the Friends of the Library is a wonderful gesture to express your appreciation for all that the Library provides for its patrons and community.

The Friends conduct two annual fundraisers: the Book & Bake Sale, and the White Christmas Raffle. They meet four times a year, the first Tuesday of the month from 6:15-8:00PM (January, May, July, and October). Please consider sharing your talents, as there are many roles to choose from when you join the Friends. Please contact or visit the Library for additional information.

We would like to thank all area businesses, organization, and individuals who so generously donated to the raffle table!
