As a Friend and/or Patron of The Community Library, we sincerely thank you for the past support, and ask that you seriously consider future involvement.

Fundraising activities of The Friends of The Community Library include:

  • Used Book Sales located in Library Basement

  • Love Your Library Month-February 2026:  Book Sales
  • Basket Raffle in September:  September 19, 2026 10am to 1pm

As we go forward with a new, modern, and enhanced Library, it is essential that there be an active group of dedicated Friends, to help the Library continue to grow. Friends of the Library groups are independent non-profit organizations, separate and distinct from the Library and Library Board, but chartered for these purposes:

  • Create public support and awareness for the Library
  • Raise funds for capital campaigns and unbudgeted projects
  • Sponsor and support library programs and events
  • Do volunteer work in the library and on specific tasks and projects
  • Provide input for the library’s Board of Trustees.
