What does the money raised by the Friends go towards?
All funds we raise and collect go towards services and programs the library provides, while keeping administrative costs as low as possible. Some of these programs are the children's summer reading program, Monday Movie Matinees, storytimes and much more! A great variety of museum passes allow patrons the visit local attractions at a reduced rate or free have also been provided by the Friends. Not to mention past fundraisers like a wine tasting that have become anticipated events. We also run an ongoing book sale, where library visitors can purchase gently used books for reasonable cost.
