Friends of Reed Memorial Library

What is the Friends of the Library?

The Friends is a group of local residents and business members of the community who value public library service and believe that their library is one of the key elements that make their community a great place to live. They volunteer their time and talent to promote the use of the library and to raise funds which are used to enhance library services.

What Friends do for the Library

  • Organize and conduct book sales and operate the bookstore inside the library
  • Sponsor cultural events for the community
  • Raise funds that are used to support library events
  • Support Summer Reading Programs
  • Are library advocates and often serve as the voice of the community in contact with administrators and legislators
