Welcome Friends!
Friends of the Library is a non-profit group of citizens who believe that an excellent library is essential to a community, and who work to promote and assist the library.
Board Meeting
The next Friends of the Library Board meeting is Tuesday, February 7 @ 7:00 PM in the Library's Conference Room. Meetings are open to the public. Please join us the first Tuesday of each month!
New Book Sale
Friends has purchased a new book shelf to house the booksale. Instead of one week per month, the book sale will be on-going and feature only new and like-new books.
Because of the cost to recycle unwanted books, the library is strictly enforcing its donation policy to accept only books that they can add to the collection or put in the book sale.
While a few patrons have lamented the end of the jumble sales, most have positive things to say about the new display. It certainly makes the library look neater!
