Friends of the Library
The purpose of the Friends of the Library is to support and advocate for the library. Friends of the Library is a group of volunteers who work to promote the Library in the community, raise funds for Library programs and services, and to promote the use of the Library and facilities.
The Friends are a vital part of the library community. As state budgets diminish, the Friends role as fundraiser is becoming more important. They hold numerous fundraising events throughout the year and earn funds for the Library by selling Middlebury Public Library tote bags and supplying snacks at the Library’s Hardback Café.
The Friends also provide volunteers for numerous library events. For the latest volunteer opportunities see The Friends Facebook page.
These activities along with your donations either fund or provide supplemental funds for the following:
- Summer Reading Clubs for kids, teens, & adults
- Let’s Talk About It Book Club
- Yak, Snack, & Read Book Club
- Books & Brews Club
