What are Friends of the Library?
- Friends of the Library are people of all ages who love reading as much as
you do. They help kids, seniors – everyone – get the benefit of a great
library. Friends know that the library is an essential part of their
community’s quality of life.
- As a non-profit group promoting their library, Friends support the
Timberland Regional Library mission to provide information, resources,
services and places where all people are free to read, learn, connect and
grow.
Why Join?
- It’s a wonderful way to have fun and make friends while performing a
worthwhile community service.
- There’s a project for every talent and time schedule.
- This is an organization where you can make a difference. We need you!
Please join us.
Why do we need Friends?
- Your library is a branch of the Timberland Regional Library system, a
property tax supported institution providing library services at 27
libraries in five counties.
- While we’re fortunate to have the collective resources of a large library
system, there are many important local programs and services
that are not covered by Timberland’s budget. That’s where Friends come in…
- Each Timberland library has a Friends groups
that raises funds to
support special projects and activities.
