Friends of the Library

So what is a Friends of the Library Group?

This is a volunteer group made up of people like you that provides financial and moral support to the John C. Fremont Library through annual membership fees and fundraisers.  In partnership with enthusiastic support from the community, the Friends  organize, plan, and hold various local fund raisers throughout the year such as  book sales, community dinners, hosting the Pioneer Day booth, and other public events that help raise money for and awareness of the importance of the library to our community.  All the money raised by this group will be used to directly help the John C. Fremont Library by funding  various library  programs such  as the  Summer Reading, Homebound and Teen Programs, as well as a future expansion and/or building projects for our rapidly growing library.

MEMBER BENEFITS:
