What the Friends Are Up To
On going fundraising activities and programs
Book Donation - Sort
The Friends provide support by sorting book donations each week. All Friends are welcome to volunteer on Thursdays from 10:00am to 12 noon. Coffee & treats afterwards are always fun and a great way to get to know each other.
​
Book Sales
The Friends volunteers receive donated books weekly. The donated books are then organized for the Book Sales several times throughout the year, including Squirrel Fest.
All proceeds help fund various Library needs and functions. The book sales are among the most popular fund raisers for the library.
Friends Book Shelves
We have ongoing book sale shelves located at the lower level entrance of the library. These quality donated books are available with a donation of $2.00 for hardback or trade books,
and $1.00 for paperback or children's books.
$2.00 books are also available at
Keebler Coffee Roasters
and
Monticello Coffee House
Memory Rose Garden
With the support of the Friends of the Library and public donations, and a group of enthusiastic volunteers, the garden is being cleaned up, maintained and replanted to once again be enjoyed by visitors and patrons of the library.
