Friends of the library informational bookmark

Friends In Deed

We play a vital role in fundraising by organizing membership drives and organizing an annual book sale to generate support for the library. These efforts help fund programs and projects that enrich the experience of library users of all ages. 

 

As a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization, the Friends provide additional financial support to enhance the library's programs, services, and resources beyond what tax dollars can do alone.

If you would like to support the library financially, we encourage donations to the Friends of the Library rather than directly to the library. Due to budget and funding regulations, the Friends group has greater flexibility in using donated funds to support library programs, services, equipment, and special projects that directly benefit our community.
