Join the Friends!

Who are friends?

The Friends of the Library are a group of people from the community who support and promote the library. They do EXTRAS: things the library cannot do on its own. Be a friend any way you can: by volunteering your time, by attending our events, or serving as an advocate of the library in your daily activities.

An informational meeting will be held in the near future. If you are interested in learning how you might become involved, please reply to us below (please provide a phone number) or sign up at the library.
