Mission Statement
The Friends of the Library is a nonprofit group that advocates for public libraries. Some of the ways the Friends help are by raising funds to enhance programs, helping with public book sales and offering speakers in the Dennis L. Bruce Author Series, promoting the Libraries in the community and staying informed about libraries' needs. The group has two nonprofit used book stores that operate daily with the help of volunteers.
