Friends Devote Time To:
Sponsoring special programs and resources- such as Reading Programs for all ages;appearances by authors, experts, and musicians; collection improvements such as Family Resource Centers; and facility enhancements benefiting all visitors.
Encouraging community awareness- by serving as an advocate for the Library and by focusing positive public attention on library services, facilities, and ongoing organizational needs.
Raising funds for the Library- providing the photocopiers in nearly all libraries. The money library users spend on photocopying, along with the sales of books, tote bags, headphones, and discs for use with public computers, provides a significant portion of the budget that makes Friends' programs and other accomplishments possible.
Sales
Each Library has Friends' items for sale.
