Join the Friends

 

Join the Friends of the McMinnville Public Library

 

Friends provide support to the library and community by:
  • Purchasing new books, Audio CDs, DVDs, board games, puzzles and equipment for loan to adults, teens and children
  • Promoting reading through adult programs and author presentations
  • Supporting programming for teens and children
  • Providing volunteers within the library as needed
  • Funding small special projects
  • Promoting the Memorial and Celebration Book programs
  • Providing match money for applications for select external grants
  • Raising money for the activities listed above through sales of donated gently used books, CDs and DVDs (normally held on second Saturdays of odd-number months)
Why should I consider becoming a Member of the Friends?
  • I appreciate services and programming that the library offers
  • I want to help provide opportunities for educational and programmatic enrichment to all members of my community
  • I want to help augment City budget allocations to the library, which alone aren’t adequate to fund all the programs and services provided
What are some benefits of membership in Friends?
  • Ease and convenience of providing support to the library and, through it, the community
  • Invitation to special library events where Members can connect with each other in a casual, relaxed atmosphere
  • Delivery of informative and inspiring Friends Bulletins via email (Spring and Fall)
