Our purpose is to heighten public awareness of library services, to support library staff, to augment services and programs, and to offer volunteers for programs if needed.
Currently, we sponsor two main events each year:
The Annual Author’s Luncheon is traditionally held in the spring of each year.The Book Sales, our main fund-raising events, are held in the Spring and again in September at the Collett Street Recreation Center. This is a much anticipated event, and members receive a notice entitling them to come to the sale a day before it is open to the public.
The Friends funding is separate from the library’s operating budget. We raise money through our book sale in order to support library programs for all ages. This has been a very fulfilling project for our Friends group.
