Current membership is 60 plus, and the Friends are looking for others volunteers to join and support the library.  A Friends membership is only $10.00 per year, or $25.00 per year for a family.  Your volunteer membership will support all of the programming activities at the library.  In addition, if you would like to support the Friends in other ways, you have many choices.  You can volunteer to help with programs such as the the children's summer reading program and special holiday programs for kids,  assisting with activities and crafts.  The Friends also sponsor other activities such as an annual book sale and an ongoing used book sale housed in the library.  We are also there for the library when they have other programming needs.

If you are interested, just contact Rebecca Makuch at 645-2061, or come into the library and ask for the membership application form.
