FOL is always looking to add to our team of volunteers, who provide support in various ways. This can include at the semi-annual booksales, movie nights, and Farmers' Market booth, with many more opportunities.
Read through the Volunteer Guide linked below for a list of volunteer roles. You can fill out the volunteer form at the end and email it to us or drop it by the library. The library also carries our brochure, which include a paper copy of the membership form if easier. Or simply send us an email (Contact Us )and we'll help you out however we can.
If you are a business or offer a service, consider becoming a 'Friends of the Library Sponsor'.
A Welcome Package bag, with information from FOL Sponsors, is given to new members of our community when they register for their library card.
For more information, click the Sponsor Page.
We would love to include and promote your business
If you're not ready or able to volunteer, you can still become a member through a $5 donation. As a member, you'll receive our newsletter and emails which give you early notice of upcoming events.
FOL is always grateful for donations, regardless of the amount.

The Management Committee meets once a month (except in the summer) to report on and oversee the organization of various FOL initiatives, projects and many volunteers. The Management Committee sets direction and approves projects and spending to enhance library programs and services. We rely on close collaboration with library staff, whose representatives also attend MC meetings.
