There is a wide and constantly changing collection of adult and children’s fiction and non-fiction at very low prices. Enter (the lights come on automatically) and be amazed!

Fundraising
FRIENDS sponsor Events that are interesting and fun while raising money for Youth and Adult programs, materials and library equipment. The success of these events relies on participation of all-volunteer groups. Each person has his/her own reason for giving time……Some like to give back to the library that has contributed so much to the community. Others are educators who are committed to seeing the library succeed for the next generation. And, some just want to get involved and have some fun!
