Since the Friends have been organized, they have held successful
book sales, geranium sales, a puppet sale, sponsored a chamber concert,
assisted the Stagecoach Inn Questers in their annual Hobby Show and
provided photocopier service, purchased equipment, funded programs
and provided volunteer services for the library to name but just
a few of their efforts. Library Awards
