Our mission…
The purpose of this association is to preserve and enhance the library’s
place as a source of information by enriching its resources and making its
services better known to the community.

What we do/provide The friends, through their membership dues and their book sales, provide tangible services to the library in the form of computers, printers, funds for new book purchases, new furniture, not to mention the hundreds of volunteer hours sorting, shelving and mending books.

Our Board Needs Your Help!!!
While we have an experienced Board of Directors who run a very well-oiled machine, we are in urgent need of new Board members (some of these folks have been at this for many years and would like to slow down just a bit!)…

We understand that meeting times may present a barrier to some who might be considering joining our group, and want to assure you that we are flexible and computer literate!  Some of our members email us their reports, and perform their duties on a day that is do-able for them.

We have several opportunities available at this time:

  • 1st Vice President – Assumes the duties of the President in the event of his or her absence; shall become President if a vacancy occurs in that office. Board of Directors Meeting:  2nd Tuesday of Every Month @ 9:00 a.m.
  • Secretary – Attends and takes minutes of our monthly meetings, and distributes copies of the minutes to the Board prior to the next meeting. Board of Directors Meeting:  2nd Tuesday of Every Month @ 9:00 a.m.
  • Volunteer Coordinator – The ideal volunteer would act as a liaison with library staff in contacting volunteer applicants, as well as coordinate with other Board Chairs to determine areas of need and arrange training sessions, as needed.  Also tracks and reports monthly volunteer hours to the Board at monthly meeting. 1-2 hrs. per month, coordinating.
    Board of Directors Meeting:  2nd Tuesday of Every Month @ 9:00 a.m.
  • Book Sorting Chair – This position requires a good understanding of book sorting procedures, good organizational/delegating skills, as well as an “eye” for hidden treasures which may be buried in a box of cast-offs.  If you love books, and handling them, this is the opportunity for you! 2-3 hrs. per month, coordinating. Board of Directors Meeting:  2nd Tuesday of Every Month @ 9:00 a.m.

If you have ever wanted to become more involved in your community, our library is the place to plant yourself!  Please join us at our next meeting:

The second Tuesday of each month @ 9:00 a.m.
