Be a Friend! Make a Difference!

    Please consider joining the Friends organization. We are a warm, friendly group of volunteers who enjoy each other's company, the library, books, volunteering and contributing to the greater good of our community.

    As a Friend you will receive each of the Friends newsletters, receive special coupons for use in the library or at our book sales, be invited to Members Only Book Sales and also our Annual Meeting/Pot Luck each year. It is great fun to belong to the Friends. We maintain contact with our members through email notification.
