We are a group dedicated to providing assistance to our local library. We are an informal and friendly group, not at all intimidating, we promise. Maybe we are a little fanatical about books and reading, but since you clicked on the button for the Friends of the Library, you are probably our kind of person and will fit in fine. Have questions? Please call Margo at 339-7262. She’ll be happy to talk with you.
What We Do
Since our founding in 1990, we have arranged for speakers, written grants, and held events to welcome library employees and to say thank you when they retire. Our funds helped pay for shelving, computers, the microfilm reader, books, art, and furniture when the new library opened in 2004. Each year we donate money to the Summer Reading Program to be used for performers and prizes for this important library program. Our big event each year is the Chocolate Affair, usually held the first Saturday in February. There will be a raffle, with some great prizes. Keep an eye out for more information.

The Friends of the Library purchased the Coffee Maker in the Reading Room, and pay for the supplies. Be sure to enjoy a cup while reading your favorite book or magazine—your $1.00 purchase helps keep our supplies of coffee, sugar, cups, and creamer available.
