About Us

In partnership with the Library Board and Library staff, we support capital projects and special initiatives, as well as advocate for continued public investment.

Our Community Impact

Fundraising

Each year, the Friends raise funds through book sales and other community events. This year, we’re expanding our calendar with a few additional gatherings—opportunities to bring neighbors together, celebrate our library, and strengthen its role as the community hub it truly is.

Upcoming Projects

We have recently donated $55,000 for the renovation of the lower level of the library. The project includes upgraded technology, finishes, and fixtures in the large and small meeting rooms, as well as an upgraded kitchenette which will open up for demonstrations and serving.

Sustained Donations 

In addition to the lower level renovation project, Friends support the library each year to purchase museum passes and maintain a high level of quality programming for every age.

Through community fundraising and generous donations, the Friends is able to support projects that patrons can see and feel every day: welcoming spaces, upgraded equipment, and expanded programming for all ages.
