Friends

The Friends group is an organization dedicated to supporting the library by promoting public involvement and by fund raising. This is a non-profit organization of volunteers who believe in the value of the public library and work to enhance its services through fundraisers, raising public awareness, and generally supporting the library.

Becoming a Friend is a great way to help your community.
