Join the Friends
What do we do?
The Friends function as a support group for the Library.
We provide financial assistance by supplementing the library's income in
the purchase of specific equipment and materials for library use. In recent
years we have maintained a special fund for equipment throughout the library
system. Friends provide volunteer assistance for special events including
the annual Summer Library. Program and legislative events.
