Friends of the Library

Who Are We?

The Friends of the Library was organized in 1967 to serve as a link between the library and the community. The Friends enhance the services that the library provides to the public. We underwrite special children’s programs and the ever popular Chair Yoga program for adults. We also sponsor subscriptions to Wowbrary, BookPage, and circulating museum passes among other programs.

Membership dues make up part of our treasury, but our jewelry sales and children’s book sale are our most important fundraisers.  The Friends also maintain an ongoing sale of books and magazines in the library lobby. All of our fundraising efforts go towards supporting the library.

How Do I Join?

The Friends are an independent tax-exempt 501c3 organization and welcomes new members all year long. Membership starts at $10.00. We can be contacted at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
