Who are the Friends?
Started in 1976, the Friends is a non-profit group of volunteers who commit time and energy to:
- Encourage interest in library functions, resources, services and needs
- Strive to extend and improve all library services and resources, especially children's programs
- Provide funds, through successful used book sales, for materials and projects not covered by the library budget
The Friends believe that a strong library is essential to a strong community. To support this belief, the Friends promote reading, literacy and use of the library as a valuable community resource.
