Friends of the Library

Who are THE FRIENDS?

The goal of the Friends of the Marengo-Union Library is to stimulate use of the library resources and service, and focus public attention on the library.  We sponsor fund raising events and encourage gifts, endowments and bequests to the library.

The Friends Group is operating a used bookstore at the rear of the library’s main room (near the fireplace).  Have you browsed around yet?  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!

Here is a list of FRIEND$ Gifts:

• Shelves for Corner Book Store
• Digital Camera
• Wii Games
• Movie License Fees
• Pre-School computer reading station
