book sale
The Friends of the Library group maintains our book sale room and will be setting up a book sale booth during the Fourth of July celebration. In previous years, our volunteers have sold books at the local farmer’s market also.
volunteer
Our volunteers have helped out around the library in many ways. They have helped us weed the collection, move collection materials, dust shelves, and assist with programs at the library. We APPRECIATE our volunteers.
advocate
Our Friends of the Library group plays an integral role in helping to secure library funding through being library champions when we need to ask for additional funding from voters and writing grants to help fund special projects. Our friends also encourage community members to take advantage of all the services at the library.
