Welcome
About
The Friends are a vibrant and passionate association of volunteers who support the Library and its programs. We raise funds, help out at library events, and meet to come up with new and exciting ways to support the library.
Friends' monthly meetings are open to the public, and all are welcome and invited to attend. Meetings are held at the library on the first Wednesday of the month at 9:30am.
IN-PERSON MEETINGS: Meetings are held in person at the library year-round from 9:30am-10:30am.
HYBRID MEETINGS: Meetings are held both in person and via Zoom from November through May from 9:30am-10:30am. Please email [email protected] for a link to the meeting.
