For years, this non-profit organization has worked hard to accomplish its two main goals:

To raise public awareness of the library, its two branches, its services, and its vast array of resources, and
To raise funds to help the library with all sorts of special, unmet needs — children's summer reading programs, the poetry series, operational and physical plant projects.

We work with Library Director Jack Finnerty and the Library Board to identify areas where our financial support will be of most benefit. We raise our funds through public events, grants, book sales, and the annual membership drive.
