Friends of the Library

We are a group of people who like to read, share, and promote the library. We are your neighbors. We are authors and retired librarians. We are homemakers and company executives. We are men and women who believe in the importance of libraries and are passionate about helping raise funds for our library.

What We Do

The Friends help fund various programs that children, teens, and adults can enjoy. We also supply and maintain a corner book sale in the library with daily bargains on books, CDs, and DVDs.

Vice President: Cindy Robish

Annual Book Sales

The Friends strive to aid and promote the library through fundraising efforts, the largest of which are our book sales.

The Friends need your used books, DVDs and CDs! Income from all sales return to our library to provide programs and supplies for children and adults. Your gently used books for all ages are needed for the book sales. Please bring your donations to the first-floor main desk.

The sales help fund library programs as well as odds and ends the library’s budget doesn’t cover. In past years, the Friends of the Library have provided the following for the library and its patrons: Furniture, shelving, snow blower, programming supplies, speaker/performer fees, BookPage subscription, high-speed copier, outdoor book drop.
