Friends of the Library
Friends of the Library groups seek to promote readership, usage of library materials and involvement of library patrons through volunteerism. The commitment of these organizations is to provide ongoing support to the Oil Region Libraries.
Promoting the Library
Friends fundraising efforts include annual bake sales, book sales, raffle drawings, the sale of commemorative Library items and more.
Volunteering
Some Friends volunteer on a regular basis and help with shelving materials and making sure that the shelves are in order and neat. Other Friends are very willing to contribute to bake sales, help with programming, plan fundraisers and more.
Providing Supplemental Financial Support
Over the years, the Friends have provided funds raised through fundraisers for programming and facility needs, which are outside the parameters of the regular Library budget.
