Founded in 1961, the mission of the Friends is to support the Library through volunteer assistance and by financial contributions to enhance the library’s collections, services and ambiance. Membership dues and book sales are the Friends’ major sources of income.

Typically, the Friends contribute each year to fund the Library’s “wish list” which covers things like the library's projection system and special children’s programs.

Sponsored Library Programs

Over the years, the Friends have sponsored scores of free library programs for children and adults, including seasonal events, summer reading, storytimes, coloring workshops, opera previews, art exhibits, the Thursday evening speaker series, Friday evening special programs and performances, and museum docent presentations.
