What is ‘Friends of the Library’?

Mission

The Friends’ mission is to promote literacy in all its forms, to facilitate equitable access to information, and to encourage lifelong learning and a love for reading.

(For just $10.00 per year, individuals, companies and organizations can lend real support to the library that allows the library to put on events, programs, purchase materials and more.)
