"Perhaps a modern society can remain stable only by eliminating adolescence, by giving its young, from the age of ten, the skills, responsibilities, and rewards of grownups, and opportunites for action in all spheres of life. Adolescence should be a time of useful action, while book learning and scholarship should be a preoccupation of adults."

—Eric Hoffer (1902-83) American philosopher

How to get involved!

Community support is reflected in the programs and contributions of the Friends of the Library (FOL).  FOL programs also support the library's role as community center.  Every year, FOL provides much-needed funds for equipment, books and services to the library.

Proceeds from FOL fund-raising have supported the library with the purchase of computers, audio/visual equipment, CDs, DVDs, a lighted outdoor sign, and most recently, a fancy new welcome mat for the library's main entrance.  Friends programs include a raffle, Books Alive!, English Tea, and a members outing.

Books Alive! is a monthly meeting which combines book reviews, exchanging of ideas, and book discussion in an informal atmosphere.  Light refreshments are served, and the meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 7 P.M. in the library's Meeting Room.  All are welcome!  Share your passion for good books, and hear from others about their recommendations.
