Become a Friend

The Friends are dedicated to focusing public attention on library services, facilities and needs; helping promote the use and enjoyment of the library; and developing supplemental funding for the library. The Friends board meets every first Monday of the month at 2 pm in the library. Guests are always welcome to join us.
