Friends of the Library
Building a partnership between the Library and the community

As a 501-C non-profit organization, the Friends strive to enhance and promote the use and enjoyment of the Library, as well as sponsor special programs and activities. The Friends also develop supplemental funding for the Library and actively support its policies and procedures.

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.
